Thanks Obama: New York fundraisers snarl traffic, fray nerves

President Barack Obama attended not one but three fundraisers in New York City Tuesday, culminating in a dinner at the home of Vogue editor Anna Wintour. It’s no secret that the presidential motorcade is a nightmare for urban commuters, but video of its size never fails to amaze. That’s one huge carbon footprint.

For those not dining with Ms. Wintour this evening, the experience looked a little more like this.

Been sitting in traffic for over an hour. Thanks Obama. Literally. His motorcade has the city shut down and I can't get to my hotel. ?
