The block was filled with Secret Service agents, who had to order people to move down the street as they quickly established a security perimeter.
Obama is in town all weekend for a variety of fund-raisers.
He is staying overnight at his home in Kenwood.

After casting his ballot, he was asked by a reporter, "Who did you vote for?"
