Presidential visit to Chattanooga lasted just hours

U.S. President Barack Obama shakes hands with members of the crowd after speaking Tuesday at the Amazon Sorting Facility in Chattanooga, Tenn.

The president came. The president went. It was just a three-hour visit, but it shut down an interstate, closed a million-square-foot factory, incited protesters and aroused the blue voices in a red state.

It was ordered chaos. There were thousands who waited for hours to get a peek at the president. But the show rarely abandoned its script. The day started long before Air Force One landed, and the buzz will rattle Chattanooga until the next president finds his way to the Scenic City, whenever that may be.

Here is a multi-view look at the fast-paced day.
