Hellish though Obamajams may be, you've got to admit the word "Obamajam" rolls off the tongue quite nicely; Hillaryjam just doesn't quite have the same ring.
Regardless, Obama's in town, and he's here to ruin your westside commutes. Though the administration never releases the full route of Obama's motorcade, it looks like the President will flown by helicopter from LAX to Santa Monica Airport sometime around 7 p.m, before traveling up to Bel Air for an evening fundraiser. He'll stay the night in somewhere in Westwood before hitting up Brentwood for some more money tomorrow morning. Looks like he'll fly out of Santa Monica Airport sometime around noon.
Tickets to tonight's dinner with the President are running upwards of $15,000 per couple. Tomorrow's Brunch with Barack will attendees cost more than $33,000.
