They wouldn't send an E-4 for him. They had a Gulfstream IV that performed a similar mission that they would use. The E-4 would only follow the President around if it was performing that mission.
The E-4B also serves as the Secretary of Defense's preferred means of transportation when traveling outside the United States.

"If Damascus comes under attack, Tel Aviv will be targeted too and a full-scale war against Syria will actually issue a license for attacking Israel," the Syrian army source told the Iranian Fars news agency.
"Rest assured that if Syria is attacked, Israel will also be set on fire and such an attack will, in turn, engage Syria's neighbors," he added.
The source also warned the U.S. and other Western states that if Syria grows weak, “certain irresponsible groups” will be formed which will endanger Israel's security.
Wednesday's mission, flying southward from Vandenberg, will place a classified payload into polar orbit for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office, the agency responsible for operating the country's fleet for spy satellites.
America says it will proceed with UK, France to act in Syria without UN approval; slighting Russia, US "does not see an avenue forward" at Security Council; Turkey may join coalition against Assad, while Jordan to abstain.
