Stay Out of Los Angeles This Afternoon

Unless you like sitting in gridlocked traffic caused by an Obama fundraiser (from Mickey Kaus):

We don’t have snowstorms but we have traffic jams: I suppose there is no way President Obama can lose California in 2012. But he’s giving it a shot tomorrow–attending two fundraisers that, with the usual level of presidential security, promise to immobilize the West Side of Los Angeles during evening rush hour. … P.S.: Some enterprising journalist should tote up the cost of the visit, in terms of lost work hours and productivity, and greenhouse gases emitted by motorists stuck in traffic, and compare it with the amount of money Obama raised. I bet the ratio is more than100 to 1. … It became evident when George W. Bush visited a few years ago that presidential travel to West Los Angeles is akin to a small natural disaster. It doesn’t take much to cause the area’s strained highway system to tip into paralysis. It’s not like the 1960s, or 1980s. And it’s not like tooling around Washington, D.C. …

As I understand it Air Force One is scheduled to land around 2:30 whcih means the traffic snarl will come at just about the worst possible time.  Not that it will matter - West L.A. lefties would vote for him if he dumped the Air Force One toilet in their swimming pool.
