President's visit snarls traffic for RB returnees
Source: The San Diego Union-Tribune

Rancho Bernardo residents began their journey back home with a surprise today.

They were stuck in traffic for two to three hours sitting in their cars at a standstill because of President Bush's visit to their community.

Police and the CHP had blocked off Interstate 15 ramps to West Bernardo Drive, which leads to the recovery center that was opened yesterday. Cars lined up for miles on the freeway.
. . .

Fed up with waiting, Barbara Gandre said she needed to drive her 87-year-old mother home to pick up medication for her 89-year-old husband. Her mother just recovered from pneumonia in September and the family did not have masks to wear over their faces. They sat in their car with the windows rolled down because they only had a quarter tank of gas left.

9. He probably snarled flights at the airport,
and all the way to/from the recovery center as well. What an idiot. His publicity means screwing the ordinary people.

10. You should hear what people in Australia and Europe have to say
after W's latest visits. My family members in Germany are still livid cuz they had to shut down half the country for His Majesty's security.

14. The Bush SPIN: Sitting in traffic for FREEDOM!
Only free people have the time to sit in traffic. So, no matter what the cause, the inconvenience should remind you that you're free!
