Terry Marseille remembered the last time President Barack Obama was in the neighborhood in April.

The Vice President is attending a party fundraiser at the home of Dawn Ross and Doug Hickey on Sea Cliff Avenue. Hickey owns a beverage distribution company.

Environmental groups opposed to the Keystone XL Pipeline were positioned several blocks away from the motorcade.
"So we're here to tell him basically that we've heard that he's against the Keystone XL Pipeline. And we want him to reaffirm that statement especially towards the Obama Administration who do support it right now. And we are extremely against that," said protester Sarah Malik.
Biden leaves the Bay Area Saturday night after a fundraiser on the Peninsula.
