Obama will stay at the Beverly Hills Hilton
Bad news, residents of Beverly Hills and Century City--he's baaaack. Seems like just yesterday President Obama was in town to charm the pants off (and to tap the deep pockets of) well-positioned Angelenos, and here he comes again with his motorcade and trail of pesky Occupy LA protesters--just in time for your afternoon commute.

The President is set to arrive at 4pm, then head to a dinner hosted by Will Ferrell at the home of the creator of "The Bold and the Beautiful." Tomorrow he'll attend a private breakfast in Corona del Mar. When he is in L.A., Obama is quite fond of staying the Beverly Hills Hilton--a tidbit that won't help him fight that "elitist" stereotype.

Here's a list of when and where to avoid the president.

I video taped the President's motorcade as it crossed Wilshire Blvd at Whittier near the Beverly Hilton.  The traffic was held up in both directions for about 8-10 minutes, then moved on. It was not backed up that far & everything went off without a hitch.  Nice to see some small histoic event such as this and record it.  Obama will be reelected, no question.

Reelection of Obama is extremely doubtful, his election as president of Odumboville might just happen.

The best way to avoid Obama is vote for someone else in November.

The Beverly Hilton is awesome! No way I could afford to stay there, but I wander around (I live about a mile down the street) and go to Trader Vic's on occasion. Maybe have a Startini in the lobby bar. Everyone is so nice there. If you could stay at the Beverly Hilton, you would totally stay at the Beverly Hilton. It's not just that it's one of those fancy expensive places, it's that they have that customer-service shit down, even for people who aren't guests. I'm totally showing up to peep at Obama tomorrow.

And Lance, if you are reading this, I don't want a Colonel's Big Opu. I want a Swan Dive.
