Im glad to read stuff like this coming out of politics. I can only hope that this might set a larger national example.
Regarding the article I particularly like this comment, "During a conversational 15-minute speech, Obama poked fun at himself telling the crowd that when he was photographed last weekend riding a bike with his children, he looked like Urkel. For those unfamiliar with Steve Urkel, he was the nerdy, bespectacled semi-hero on the long running sitcom “Family Matters.”
I don't know whats funnier the fact that he called himself out for that photo or that they described Urkel as "the nerdy, bespectacled semi-hero"
ha! vernon ain't got nuttin' on England! they got these traffic cameras there and the public is rabidly attacking them with paint, grinders, explosives...everything!
I feel bad for the hobos who are hanging around these things waiting for free sandwiches and some nutjob comes along and hits them with paint, or even worse a pipe bomb.
I guess it's Mayor Daley who generally gets to take credit for all the bike lanes and that sort of stuff in Chicago, but Obama is a Senator for that state (and from that City).

Is it no longer going to be "change that we can believe in" and instead "did I do that?"

no hobo's getting injured.
about 1/2 way through the photos you see the method:
take one old tire, wedge it on the pole under the camera box, fill with petrol and light it up!

Here's a bi-partisan bike news item. Bike-sharing programs for both major conventions this summer.
