KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Social media lit up once President Obama arrived in Kansas City on Tuesday.
Numerous tweets and pictures have been sent out Tuesday and Wednesday using the hashtag #ObamaInKC, including some well-known locals like Sporting KC’s Matt Besler.
Even though secret service is at the president’s side FOX 4’s Meagan Kelleher has found some great responses, and stopped by the studio to share some of them.
Mr. @BarackObama, welcome to KC! If you're interested in @SportingKC training tomm morning, let me know. We can carpool. I'll drive.
