Consider yourselves warned. @GridlockSam, our favorite source of New York City traffic information, calls today "the gridlock alert day of the decade."
It's going to be a traffic nightmare today as President Barack Obama is in town for three fundraisers, coinciding with the annual lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
Obama is landing at JFK around 5 p.m., choppering in Marine One to Wall Street, and then attending three events in Greenwich Village, the Upper East Side, and West Midtown. Each neighborhood will be subject to a traffic freeze while the President is on the move. Plus, the area around Rockefeller Center will begin to be shut down around 4 p.m. for the tree lighting at 7 p.m.
In short, it's going to be a madhouse.

Ha! Ha!....that’s it libtards!...Flush your money down the Obama toilet!
I drive in Manhattan. As long as you ignore all your instincts for survival and ignore all the rules of the road, you’ll be alright.
And it’s a lot better than driving in Palermo which I was once forced to do.
LOL!
