I'm curious why this doesn't show any flights to Hawaii - is the map only of official visits? Obama takes an annual vacation there[1]. [1] https://whitehouse.gov1.info/blog/blog_post/agenda-hawaii.ht...
Hawaii isn't considered international, from the perspective of the US - it's domestic. Notice that there also is not a trip to Alaska shown, though he did visit Alaska. (And, trips in the mainland US are not shown either.)
Apparently in 2009 Obama visited Moscow and managed to meet both president Putin and president Medvedev. Granted, it is sometimes hard to remember who of these two is a president at any given moment, but a two-president state is a bit pushing it.

And to be clear, that website is a weird parody. It's not an official anything.
What's a weird parody about it? That's different from being unofficial.
It is recommended not open windows, there is risk of snipers. International airport is closed for several hours for a single airplane. And main roads are closed everyday while president is traveling.
I still remember New Orleans. People could not leave flooded city, because Bush decided to do a personal rescue mission :-(
I hope Donald will stay at home. Every presidential visit brings multi-million city to a halt. It has similar effect as an earthquake, major fire or other natural disaster.

In our case, President Obama (and I am a full supporter of his) visited our little town here in Australia (pop: ~100,000) back in 2011 to meet with our Prime Minister to ratify a deal to station about 10,000 US Marines in our town.
He was on the ground here for about 6 hours. For the whole day (and most of the day preceding), major roads were blocked and citizens could not get in or out of the city. RAAF fighter jets criss crossed our skies constantly during his stay, and the police kept all the local citizens out of parks and recreational areas near the airport.
It was a major PITA, to say the least, as commerce and general activity ground to a halt for everyone in our city.
During the same visit, President Obama also met with the Governor General of Australia in Canberra. Watching the televised meeting, I was amused to see that at the end of it, the president was whisked away by his security team in his motorcade, with police escort, whereas the Governor General simply walked back to his home along the river by himself.
The irony that the leader of the free world is probably the least free person in it...
President Obama visited Moscow as he met with President Medvedev and President Putin. This is at least innacurate.

Here's another nifty visualisation - this time with drone strikes: http://drones.pitchinteractive.com/
I wonder when will this escalation stop.
