    President 2012 Obama Jam: Another Fundraising Day and Another Obama Traffic Jam for Los Angeles

    About three plus hours to go but here is the latest about street closures for this afternoon and tomorrow.

    President arrives at 4:45pm at LAX

    • Usually he is helicoptered to the VA from where the motorcade departs
    • He will motorcade across the Westside to  sometime between 5pm and 6pm to two seperate events in Hancock Park – Santa Monica, Sunset, Olympic, Pico, Wilshire are all subject to rolling closures
    • He usually stays at the Beverly Hilton.  So sometime around 9-10pm he’ll probably head back from Hancock Park

    Metro has not provided bus advisories yet – but they will release as the afternoon continues.

    Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus is alerting riders to delays on routes 1, 2, 3, 8, and 12.

    We’re still figuring out the Burbank portion of the trip – but we have received word the actual Tonight Show taping will be at 9am at NBC Studios near Olive and Alameda.  That means Obama will be on the move sometime between 8am and 9am from possibly the Beverly Hilton to Burbank.
    Obama is scheduled to leave for San Francisco at noon from LAX.

    Good luck out there.

    I will be leaving from downtown Los Angeles around 5 PM.

    Oh Joy!
