Someone apparently decided that Obama's $30,000-a-plate dinner at the house of "West Wing" producer John Wells necessitated shutting down most of the major east-west through streets in Los Angeles.

I just spoke to producer at KTLA TV. She informed me of two interesting things; First, this fundraiser generated just a million dollars. So our local governemnts of Los Angeles (City, County and BH and Hollywood) Police, Sheriffs, Fire, Traffic, etc., likely spent several times this sum while all the businesses on the West Side surely lost more than this not to mention how many millions of dollars in tax revenues were lost while our businesses were effectively shut down for Obama's million dollar steak dinner. Second, she informed me that they were unable to fly their news helicopters because there was a 30 mile no fly zone!!!!!! Great! We are now one step away from a dictator who controls our media!!!!!!! We need our media to document what happens including what transpired today. However, the Obama administration precluded this media coverage.
(CQ Politics) —
President Barack Obama raised $1 million for House Democrats at a Monday night fundraiser backed by the Hollywood elite.
According to pool reports, Obama spoke to the crowd for about half an hour. He said that keeping Congress in Democratic hands will be “my focus over the next several months” and hailed Democratic lawmakers for helping to “deliver the most progressive legislative agenda.”
“I hope you understand why we’re here tonight. It’s not to take a picture with the president,” he said. “We’re here to make sure those who took the tough votes are rewarded.”
