The tour buses that once idled there now park on the other side of Lafayette Park.
To the contrary: I recently spent part of a pleasant afternoon in the area in question, along with many skateboarders, roller-hockey players and tourists -- all of us enjoying an open and accessible view of the White House and unencumbered by the havoc of 29,000 cars a day and the "tour buses that once idled there".
Before leaving on Tuesday, Mr. Obama toured a once-idle power plant that was brought back to life through a partnership between American business and the Tanzanian government.
Shares are up more than 15percentt since mid-July, investors are feeling optimistic, and once-idle money is pouring back into equities.

We understand that the backoff counter in each vehicle will be decremented by a slot once an idle channel is sensed and will wait for a transmission time once a busy channel is sensed.
Next, once an idle period equal to DIFS/EIFS is observed, MAC takes the next operation according to the stored channel status and the current value of its backoff time.
After each aSlotTime, the Backoff Time reduces an aSlotTime, and if the medium is busy during an aSlotTime, the reduction of an aSlotTime from Backoff Time is stopped until the medium is once again idle.
I don't know if it is legal to ride around a bison jam in Wyoming, but more than once I idled past, hungry for the open road that would inevitably lead to the next bison jam.
In Los Angeles, where I once lived, idling engines and crawling vehicles are a fact of life, but unlike New Yorkers, Angelenos seem to realize that no good can come from hitting a horn in standstill traffic.
