After his arrival, Obama stopped briefly to greet more than 100 well-wishers stood behind the rope line with his smile and shook hands with some of them before leaving in motorcade heading to the conference of mayors. There were no official greeters.

The President was scheduled to deliver remarks at the United States Conference of Mayors’ 83rd Annual Meeting hosted by San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel in the afternoon.
