Friggen stupid whining.

P1 - There's an airplane over town, is it because the president is here?

P2 - It's so annoying, it's been here all day!

P3 - OMG IKR!? If I wanted to deal with this I would live in Chicago!

it does suck when the Pres comes to Southern California. He ties up the freeways and flights get delayed and generally becomes a total pain in the ass to all residents.

When he was in NY recently he shut down part of the subways during rush hour.

So yeah I whine when he comes to town.

 

[gothamhunter]

Which is comparable to having an airplane fly over the city?

Well depends on how it is flying over the city.

One pass no big deal, but if it was a fighter escort that kept circling the city over and over again then yes that would kind of suck.

Sounds like the poster said it was flying over the city all day long. Kind of think that is an exaggeration though.

last 2 times obama was in LA we've had f-16's scrambled because of people flying into the no-fly zone. pretty loud and annoying when they're flying low, shaking buildings, setting off car alarms city wide.

That's par for the norm. People always complaint about presidential visits.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

This kind of shit didn't happen a few decades ago. The current Presidents act as if they are Soviet Heads of State, the cowards. Every time Obama comes here it completely fucks up traffic as well.

Always makes a mess of traffic, and usually at the worst times of days.

So glad that whenever he's in the area he's downtown. Rarely affects traffic too badly where I'm normally at thankfully.

Over half my office doesn't show up when Obama comes in to LA. We just work from home until he's gone.

It was pretty nuts when he came to Hawaii since we really only have a single large highway that would be shut down as he rolled through. The traffic was insane that day...

this is the fucking truth. dumbass came by here twice lately and they actually closed section of the fucking interstate for him. WTF, ride the damn helicopter if you want to move stealthy about don't royally fuck up our already shitty rush hour.


and the traffic people couldn't tell us how bad the backus were where the road was still opened cause they blacked out the highway cams for the area.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Lol, I live close to and work at an AFB. The only thing that makes me wonder what's going on is silence.

What really pissed me off is when Obama had to have a FUNDRAISER during rush hour in Washington, DC...closing off a major road out of DC when people are trying to get home from work..delaying cars/metrobuses/etc for HOURS. And he stayed there late so the road in downtown DC was closed even longer....nice to know he considers his pan handling more important than the thousands of working stiffs trying to get home to their families...or maybe he's just completely oblivious of others these days. It was a $25,000/plate dinner....can't hold that crap on the weekend? Oh...I forget Sundays are no good cause he closes down the roads to go to Andrews AFB to golf almost every weekend.
