Liberal Los Angelenos Find Something Obama-Related to Complain About: He’s Bad For Traffic

To help raise a reported $1 million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, President Obama dropped in to LAX, hit up the Beverly Hills Hotel, and then drove to producer John Wells’s Hancock Park home in Los Angeles, where he was met by director JJ Abrams, Nancy Pelosi, Judd Apatow, Taye Diggs, and Idina Menzel. And in doing so? He caused a traffic nightmare, tying up major boulevards, which in turn clogged cross-streets, and left drivers stranded in parking lot traffic for hours on end. The Huffington Post‘s headline: “Does President Obama Owe Los Angeles An Apology?” And there are calls for an investigation.
