Washington, DC traffic is bad enough on a normal day but throw in rain, a sinkhole on the George Washington Parkway and an imperial president and you’ve really got problems.
White House pool note: "It looks as if the Parkway northbound has been closed so the motorcade can go down the wrong way back into DC."

The weather grounded Marine One but President Sinkhole just had to get to his photo op at the National Institutes of Health.

Presidential motorcade closes the beltway and GW Parkway at the height of rush in heavy rain! Great planning by his majesty. SMH ?

GW Parkway closed for the Presidential Motorcade. Thanks #Obama

Weather forced Pres Obama to motorcade to Walter Reed, rather than chopper. Passed sinkhole on GW Parkway, en route, says press pool.

Still nothing on the Prez's motorcade. Traffic has been shut down around area for over a half hour at the heart of rush hour. Unacceptable.

.@AdamTuss Is there any explanation for why POTUS had to travel at rush hour for this policy speech and photo op?

King Obama? Local DC TV News going nuts over Obama motorcade shutting GW Parkway, even the Beltway, at rush hour.

Look, I understand Presidential motorcades, but the motorcade tonight is shredding commutes/people's time. Poorly planned.
— Adam Tuss (@AdamTuss) December 2, 2014
To recap – SB lanes on GW pkwy were closed b/c of sinkhole. NB lanes now closed b/c Prez using NB lanes to go SB and get back to White House

Hey, remember when the lefty media went bat guano about the story that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie might have been involved with closing a couple lanes on a bridge?
