Yes it's just a few intersections that are blocked but that costs traffic to detour onto other streets and when there's a light on every block it makes it much worse. If he was in town for actually something important than I might not be so annoyed but the fact that he's here for a fundraiser to benefit his party and eat dinner with rich people...

The idea that he is not more important than Joe Citizen is laughable, regardless of how you feel about the president. He's the leader of the country. You and I are the leader of our houses or places of employment (at best). We don't sign treaties, we don't command anyone's armed forces but our own private ones, and we don't conduct international diplomacy.

Yes he's just a man. A very important one who, like many other presidents before him, will inconvenience folks when he comes to town. I'm sure everyone will survive.

That's the problem
local media should inform people way ahead of time

When they don't inform, people are not aware of the traffic and then everybody is p.... off because Obama caused traffic.

BTW,
how is this any different than the typical Houston closure of lane/s for construction without giving any previous warning.
Last month, on Monday at 7:30am the 2 lane road I take to get to the highway was down to 1 lane (without previous warning) for construction work.

KHOU is reporting that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will be in attendance at the same fundraising dinner. Tickets start at 16k all the way up to 64k so hurry if you want to get seated on time lol

I bet the 64k tickets include a selfie with Barack and Michelle
