Read where he basically shut down all the private airfields in the Puget Sound/Seattle area. Loss of business so his highness can conduct a fund raiser?

Good thing Chris Christie isn’t in town. He might close a bridge or something and get the drive-bys upset.

he is also visiting his daughter, who is a Hollywood intern, on the tax payer’s dime. While carpetbagging among the 1 percenters (he just did so in Seattle with out stopping to say bugger all to the unwashed masses).

Did anybody ever snoop out what kind of car Baraq & Mooch bought for Malaria?

Obviously if it was Palin’s kid working there we’d get daily papparazzi updates....

Judging from the street closures he is going to Hancock Park on Wednesday and then he will go to the Beverly Hilton. Thursday will be in Brentwood. He does not have time for golf until he gets back to DC.

Or, as a good friend of mine posted on his Facebook page:

“the President is in my area all day...... Don’t come to Hancock Park / Miracle Mile area today unless you want to experience traffic that would crack your head open!”
