Out of town pool #3 - Church After holding some more at a different location near the president's residence, the pool bus joined the motorcade at 4:34 pm. At 4:39 pm we stopped near St Edmond's church after an uneventful ride. From a distance your pooler caught a glimpse of POTUS entering the church. An eagle eyed photographer saw his granddaughter Finnegan at his side. We are now holding on the sidewalk. |

Out of town pool #4 - Leaving church and quote The President exited the church at 5:22 pm with his granddaughter. A reporter asked him, from a distance, how he celebrated Mother's Day. "I prayed for you all. You need help" he said. He then added "To those of you who are mothers, Happy Mother's Day" while getting into his SUV. There was another shouted question about the Russian offensive but it's unclear whether the president heard it. The motorcade started rolling shortly thereafter. |
