I got the same notice and cannot help but wonder who is behind this method of protecting the president. I would think painting a big red circle around the area where the president will be and publishing if to the world might not be the smartest thing to do.

AOPA member services sent an update on a TFR affecting my home airfield. It included a link to TFR operations, content as follows:
Requirements for flight in the outer area:
- Limited to arriving or departing local airfields
- *Transit operations may be authorized
- Must be on active VFR or IFR flight plan
- Squawk discrete code obtained from ATC
- Two-way communication with ATC
- No loitering
Operations not authorized:
- Flight training
- Practice instrument approaches
- Aerobatic flight
- Glider
- Parachute
- Ultralight
- Hang gliding
- Balloon
- Agriculture/crop dusting
- Animal population control
- Banner towing
- Model aircraft
- Model rocketry
- Unmanned aerial systems
My conclusion: It'd be pretty easy to comply with these rules if I really needed to fly today.
