This comment right here sums up the feeling of a lot of Southern California residents caught in the traffic jam caused by Obama.
One man, who did not want to give his name, said it had taken his wife four hours to drive home from Brentwood. Another man trying to walk west on 6th Street to his office shouted at the officers blocking his way and told them he wished he had voted for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Obama's opponent in the 2008 presidential race.Obama was criticizing Republicans last week for concentrating on the elections in November, but the first Arab American President never misses an opportunity to fundraise for Democrats even though he keeps inconveniencing people and costing the taxpayers huge dollars for his fundraising trips on Air Force One. Has the media ever asked if the DNC has reimbursed the Air Force for these political trips including hotels, etc., or do they expect the taxpayers to foot the bill?
The question of the day is "What idiot would schedule an Obama fundraiser in Los Angeles during Rush Hour?"
What's with Democrats tying up things in Los Angeles? Remember when Clinton tied up LAX as he received his haircut on Air Force One. Looks like the title of the 'Party of the Elite' belongs to the Democrats who are also raiding the food stamp fund now to pay for the Obama giveaway agenda while Republicans are saying it should not be touched to fund teachers. Democrats chose teachers over the poor people who need food stamps to live. When are people going to wake up that the Obama agenda is now being passed on the backs of those who can afford it least -- food stamp recipients. Now Obama ties up traffic so he can party with the Hollywood elite although we hear that Barbara Streisand was not in attendance.
Wonder how many people if they had a chance to change their vote would echo the person above and vote for McCain?
L.A. fuming over Obama traffic, demands investigation
August 17, 2010 7:23 am
The massive traffic jam that resulted from President Obama's motorcade and speech Monday night in Hancock Park is prompting calls for an investigation from some residents, who say they were caught in traffic for hours.
Obama was only in L.A. for a few hours, but his presence caused numerous streets to be blocked off.
Residents reported that commutes and errands that typically took minutes turned into hours-long ordeals. One particular complaint was that streets remained blocked for hours -- even when Obama was inside TV producer John Wells' Hancock Park home at a fund-raiser.
"What has occurred is way beyond reasonable and can only be described as negligent," L.A. resident Kevin McCarthy said in an e-mail to The Times. "If it isn't my story, currently evolving, of beginning my 1 mile journey home at 5pm and at 7:50pm now being 3 miles from home with no viable idea of how to get closer, it should be about the two sirens-wailing ambulances I have witnessed stuck in this unnecessary gridlock."
The Los Angeles Fire Department reported no delays for emergency vehicles. But the LAPD heard an earful from angry motorists.

Carlos Garcia, a 25-year-old waiter from Miracle Mile, had the misfortune of setting out on a run about the time the area went on lock-down. He had planned on a four-mile run, but it turned into 5.5 miles as he tried unsuccessfully to get back home, ultimately waiting 25 minutes at a yellow-police-tape barrier.
"They waved me through, but then they stopped me coming back," he said. "I can't believe they did it during rush hour on a Monday."
