Obama flies back to LAX, then to San Francisco

roscoes-sign.jpgIt could have been worse. President Obama's motorcade caused quite a bit of traffic disruption this morning as he traveled from the Beverly Wilshire hotel in Beverly Hills to NBC's lot in Burbank. Then, we caught a break. After the president taped a "Tonight Show" segment before a studio audience, he flew by helicopter from Burbank to LAX, avoiding another round of Obamajam. "Potus walked alone off Marine 1 and boarded [Air Force One] at 11:53 am. We're rolling shortly to San Fran," pool reporter Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal filed a little while ago.

People are still talking about last night's Obamajam, which spread over many square miles around Hancock Park, Miracle Mile, Park Mile and the Mid-City area. See Obama waffles while L.A. is fuming.
