Los Angeles drivers aren't the only ones being screwed over by President Obama this Friday afternoon.
The president's journey to the USC campus will also be cushioned by a blockade of air traffic within eight miles of LAX and downtown Los Angeles -- and within 10 miles of Burbank Airport -- from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Federal Aviation Association told the Wrap that it has placed a Temporary Flight Restriction on all Los Angeles airspace, and that "only law enforcement aircraft and air ambulance aircraft" will be permitted through at certain times.
However, LAX spokesperson Albert Rodriguez clarifies that the restrictions only apply to "pilots who don't have a flight plan logged with the FAA." In other words, all commercial airlines will be fine -- just don't think about taking your private jet for a spin until all signs of Obama are off the horizon.
The police-enforced red carpet will cause a more catastrophic jam on ground-level: LAPD advises that the entire downtown area will be shut down from 9:30 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. For a full list of closed streets, see the Weekly's closure report.
The president is in town to rally support for Senate incumbent hopeful Barbara Boxer. The event at USC is expected to draw a crowd of over 30,000, and will be supplemented by performances from Ozomatli and Jamie Foxx.

A spitting image of Mussolini without the funny garrison cap and tassel. Arrogant, deranged and maniacally evil if you ask me. As South Park said in the Hybrid Episode re: closed eyes, etc., smug and arrogant.
Every time I see him i think of this photo of him. Last night on pbs was the replay of a shing ding at the White House, sure enough he sat in the front row with his head just like this photo. El Duche!
Campaigning for Boxer is more important than inconveniencing thousands of regular working stiffs?
What a despicable ass this man is.
Make way for the king, all you smelly peasants.
“FAA Halts All Private Los Angeles Air Traffic To Make Space For Obama”
That SOB!
Barry’s desperate attempt to save Obamanism is costing the U.S. taxpayers a fortune. That doesn’t include the ice cream shortage he is causing in this country.
Well I think this is just about the best idea I’ve heard from that side of the USA! I tell you what, why don’t we all make space for O44....to start with I suggest an empty space in the White House!
Agreed! I just hope and pray the regular working stiffs remember this 11 days from now.
The kind of protection afforded are President is a shining example of how completely out of control our Federal government is. These people are from another planet.
Boy, if people thought it was a nuisance when clinton or Bush came to town, Obama takes it to a whole new level.
I swear he has ten times the security of any other President.
When Bush went to Normandy for the anniversary, he waited in line to use the portpotty. When Obama went, he closed down the whole place and kicked out all the other visitors.
When Bush went to West Point for the graduation, they all cheered him. When Obama went, they took away all the Cadets’ swords.
No flights in or out of the airports all day long? Even when Obama is nowhere near the airport? Typical.
Memo to California Sheep:
As you sit cursing in endless traffic or stuck at the airports, remember that the democrat party just royally screwed you for the 875,678th time.
Even though I believe this is SOP it doesn’t change the fact that he is a neonarcicomunist.
Great! Nothing pisses off the libs more than not being able to get around LA.
SOP for Gen Av when the big mucke-mucks come in. Pilots won’t say it but I am beginning to think it is a pain the butt for them. You can’t go in and out of the Veil even if you just want to do touch and go’s on a nice day.
WASHINGTON, May 20 — It may have been the most expensive haircut in history.
Two of Los Angeles International Airport’s four runways were shut down for nearly an hour on Tuesday, some incoming flights were delayed and Air Force One sat on the tarmac with engines running — all so that President Clinton’s Beverly Hills hairstylist, Chistophe, could come aboard and give Mr. Clinton a high-price trim before he took off for Washington.
Questions about Mr. Clinton’s runway razor cut dominated the White House news briefing today, with the communications director, George Stephanopoulos, scrambling to explain why the populist President tied up one of the country’s busiest airports to have his hair trimmed. Everybody Does It
Just out to let the Angelinos know how much we appreciate their contributions to technology.
Is this procedure? He is next going to Vegas to push for dirty Harry.
This should tip the undecided 3% to Boxer, don’t you think?
Ha!
