Delayed LGA->ORD because of ... "VIP Movements"???

Hi! I'm sending this from perhaps my seventh or eighth straight delayed LGA->ORD flight in a row. The reasoning this time was actually quite amusing to me: ORD inbounds being ATC held because of " VIP Movements" related to President Obama being in town yesterday.

Has anyone else experienced that type of delay before.. "VIP Movement"? Is that a luxury foreign dignitaries are afforded? Locking up our airports' ability to engage in regular operations??
