Witnesses say a pregnant woman in labor was prevented by authorities from crossing a Los Angeles street to a hospital Wednesday because the road had been closed for President Barack Obama’s impending motorcade.

The unidentified woman was barred from walking the few hundred feet to the hospital for at least 30 minutes as authorities waited for the president’s motorcade to pass by, witness Carrie Clifford told TheBlaze early Thursday morning.

“I felt bad for her,” Clifford said. “It does happen when Obama comes to L.A. or I’m sure anywhere else. It paralyzes the city, it does make it complicated.”

“You can’t do the things you had set out to do because the president is in town,” she added.

In obamas defense....he was on a fundraising tour.

I’m afraid I would have stopped her, too. Old war tricks come to mind.

[smalltownslick]

Why didn’t the so-called “authority” simply escort her across?

[tflabo]

She should have cried that she needed an emergency abortion instead. That would have done the trick. and pronto if she yelled it in spanish.

[ZinGirl]

sadly LOL...it’s so funny, but so true.

[Mouton]

Any thought we do not live in a banana republic is easily put to rest by reading this commentary.

[G Larry]

It was 30 minutes prior, so we have policy overriding thinking.....again.

I saw some muzzies walking around West Hollywood in cadaver bags.

I’d say they made the right choice.

Can’t tell if they are pregnant or just fat; worse carrying munitions...

Obama sucks d.

"She should have cried that she needed an emergency abortion instead. That would have done the trick. and pronto if she yelled it in Spanish."

All good comedy has a basis in truth....

[Sacajaweau]

Says she left the scene before incident was resolved.....which I would guess was before the motorcade passed. Who knows...Bits and pieces never tells the whole story.

Because apparently everyone in law enforcement is a complete idiot these days!

[exit82]

She should have fainted. Instant ride out of there to hospital.

[heylady]

Once again in Obama World everyone is treated like a criminal. I guess she is lucky the police didn’t just shoot her.

[Ann Archy]

CADAVER BAGS!!!! LOL!!!! That IS what Burkas look like!!!

[Vendome]

Dame la aborto, ahora! Yo muerte! Cuidado! Yo muerte.

Tiene compasion para me...

How dat?

[grobdriver]

Obama rolls by with curled upper lip and mutters, “Peasants”.

[Vendome]

Yeah. These idiots were in full on garb, face covered and everything.

They walked by a Darth Vader impersonater and I thought “Irony?”.

“You can’t do the things you had set out to do because the president is in town,” she added.

Just like in the Third Reich.
