Obama came to WA State to fund raise, not for help the fire victims. While towns all over WA are holding fund raisers for the fdisplaced victims of the wild fires, Obama comes into Seattle at rush hour and ties up traffic to fill his political coffers.
Traffic issues were worse than on a normal weekday commute as only 1 regular lane and 1 HOV lane of the I-90 bridge were open and there was a Mariner game at Safeco (for those that don’t know - north of Boeing Field where AF1 lanes) and a Seattle Storm game at the Key Arena - both at 7.
They were suggesting that some people work from home yesterday, which may have helped with making the commute not as bad as it could have been.
Whenever Obama comes to town one fairly liberal radio host says, “he’s coming to visit his ATM in Bellevue again - he never has time for the little people”.
