Gridlock expected as Obama fund-raiser coincides with tree lighting

(Excerpt)
President Obama has an unwelcome holiday gift for New Yorkers — he’ll be coming to Midtown the same day the streets will be impossibly clogged by the Rockefeller Plaza tree-lighting ceremony. He has picked Wednesday, one of the busiest gridlock-alert days of the year, to descend on the area with his motorcade for a fund-raiser and party.

While throngs squeeze into the blocks around Rockefeller Center, where teen heartthrob Justin Bieber will be performing, the president and his entourage will be just a few blocks away at the Sheraton New York Hotel.

It’ll be the double whammy of all traffic nightmares.

Once again, it's ALL about The One. No, the Boy President couldn't bother to see if there are any OTHER major events near his, especially ones that have been previously scheduled. . .

OTOH, not sure which would be worse: Obama or Justin Bieber (grin)

One wonders if Obozo timed his visit because he is PO'ed that Christmas impinges on his image of himself.

Muslims don’t care about Christmas. That is why the muzzie-in-chief slinks off to Hawaii every Christmas so he can avoid all the holiday festivities in DC.

Oh good, I’m in the city Tuesday then again on Thursday. I’ll miss the Communist in Chief!

Fundraising with the 1% no doubt.

You summed it up. I know that the WH has traditionally had staff that is supposed to look into things and arrange these visits so they don't create a lot of resentment by being disruptive. Maybe he fired them all because he doesn't really care about being disruptive.

In the Middle Ages, when a king visited a member of the lesser nobility or a town, the aristocrat and the town usually ended up bankrupt (because the king expected a major welcome and hospitality) and in fact many fortunes were lost because of royal visits. Which is clearly what Bambi believes this to be...

Another Million dollars down Obama’s campaign cesspool.

We could balance a budget if we just make him stay in Washington.

Why does he need campaign funds, he is doing all of his campaigning on our funds.

LOL! You forgot the most important part:

“Obama will be attending a fund-raiser held by the LBGT community . . .”

I still recall the absolute guttural hate I had as I sat on the exit ramp near the airport waiting for the VP motorcade to pass.

I don't ever remember feeling that way about any of our leaders. And that was the VP, not 0bama. There is a visceral and palpable wave of emotion running through our country right now on both sides.

Schaedenfreude is the word, isn’t it? I mean New York City loves Hussein...so I feel delighted they will be inconvenienced because of their hero zero.

This is just a guess, but I bet Hussein’s bosses will put their punk somewhere different...maybe at a military base as a “surprise” to the troops or something....you know, and tell him to pretend he cares about the troops for something more than a photo op.

If not today, then at Christmas or New Years or the first day of kwanzaa.

Remember: it is 347 days to election. The charade must begin anew.

Just curious, has any other President ever attended a Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender fundraiser?

Any President at all?

I know Hillary went to one, but anybody know if a United States President has ever attended one?

Seems to me this would be something a President, running for reelection, would avoid.

I really think Bam despises NYC and uses it for his gain.
It helps that its populated with fawning liberal idiots.
Remember shortly after he was immaculated that Air Force One flew by and buzzed the city skyline frightening many?

Obama will be attending a fund-raiser held by the LBGT community at 7:30 p.m., followed by a holiday reception billed as a thank-you to his early supporters.

OMG, talk about in your face, how disgusting.
