AB On  Thursday,  July  22,  2009,  President  Barack  Obama  arrived  for  a  visit  at  Cleveland  Clinic.  The  event  was  significantly  different  from  when  his  predecessor,  George  W.  Bush,  visited  in  2005  because  President  Obama  did  not  address  any  large  crowds  while  on  campus.  Instead,  he  had  a  brief,  focused  conversation  with  Dr.  Cosgrove,  then–Ohio  governor  Ted  Strickland,  and  me  in  a  small,  private  classroom  before  heading  up  to  the  Heart  and  Vascular  Institute’s  fourth  floor  to  see  a  demonstration  of  robotically  assisted,  minimally  invasive  mitral  valve  repair  surgery.  There  was  little  fanfare  associated  with  the  presidential  visit.  The  Secret  Service  did  its  very  thorough  Secret  Service  security  sweeps,  and  a  large  tent  was  erected  over  the  entrance  that  the  president  would  use.
