Update: Obama has landed at LAX and has taken a helicopter to the VA complex, from there he will take a limo to the House of Blues. Is it not possible to take a helicopter all the way to The House of Blues? Maybe Obama wants to get in some sight seeing. I thought there are locations on the Sunset Strip that a helicopter could land, even a street intersection parallel to Sunset would work near the HOB.
Anyway the damage is being done in the traffic congestion this city will experience. Why not have the event at the airport or a hanger at the airport? This whole thing makes no sense!

President Barack Obama visits Los Angeles, get ready for massive traffic jams and street closures, West Hollywood will be a total mess, stay away from this area between today around 3pm and tomorrow around 11am. Actually you would probably be best served to stay away from this area completely today and tomorrow.

So President Obama stomps into town, creates a traffic nightmare during RUSH HOUR!
Hey Obama take a helicopter and save us all the grief of dealing with your visit.

Schools are closing early, businesses along the closure routes will lose thousands if not hundreds of thousands in revenue, all for President Obama to raise funds for his political re-election.
The more I watch the actions of this President the more disappointed I am in him as a leader. A leader that speaks of the people and jobs, and employment opportunities would not snarl traffic in a city where commuting is so critical and in dire need of a major overhaul. President Obama you are not doing anyone any favors by bringing your caravan to the streets of West Hollywood.
