Here are Officers Weber and Sanchez...
Meanwhile, multiple readers have noted an incredible NYPD presence in the area ... and there are reports of the NYPD randomly towing cars all along 12th Street — down to Avenue C. And a reader notes that parts of Avenue C are shut down. There's even a rumor that the fund-raiser tonight at a private residence is in the East Village (note to self: pick up some hummus).

Aha! My kid goes to school over on 12th St. between B&C and just called me to tell me Obama was going to be going by the school. I had no idea what he was talking about so thanks for the clarification!
They are towing whatever cars are unlucky enough to be there. Just saw the NYPD trucks dragging one away on 12th between A & B.
The picture of those officers reminded that basically right across the street from Obama's fundraiser is where those girls got pepper sprayed in the early OWS days.
Seems as if NYPD has got this one under control though.
I hear he's doin' a pub crawl...
I want to know who in Alphabet City is wealthy enough to host a $10,000 per person "get together!"
at $38,500/head, dinner must be artisanal...
Lower East Side is now known as the Lower EASY Side and has been that way for a number of years. Forget about what it once was those days are past.
They posted no parking signs yesterday, they're not "randomly" towing cars.
If he was going to be on 12th street, he should have had dinner at John's.
They posted that sign at midnight. That's BS.
In a speech last nigth at MIT, Bloombucks said:
"I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have,”
What a dick.
I'm glad he said what he did. Washington constantly fu%#s NYC. It's time we started F'ing them back.
Traffic was a mess, pedestrians couldn't get home, all because the President had to meet with fat cat donor's. It's all Bush's fault.
Obama did a 50 mph tour of the East Village.
