I think commercial aircraft are usually pressurized to around 6,000-8,000 ft, Denver is between 5,000 - 6,000. Considering the excessive amount of time Obama has spent in Airforce One he should be well acclimated to the altitude in Denver.

Aircraft pressurization is set to a pressure alitude of 8000ft, so yes it does.
