President Obama will be in San Francisco to address the nation’s mayors the afternoon of Friday, June 19th at the U.S. Conference of Mayors 83rd Annual Meeting in San Francisco at the Hilton in Union Square.

The chances of you getting a glimpse of the president are like, zero. But you might be able to see the motorcade zipping around the city making traffic a f*cking nightmare.

Obama will also be attending Democratic fundraisers including a $10,000-per-person reception at the San Francisco home of Tom Steyer, the hedge fund billionaire turned environmentalist.

Obama last visited the Bay Area in February 2015 for a White House Summit on cybersecurity issues at Stanford and a DNC fundraiser at the SF home of venture capitalist Sandy Robertson.
