Just one more Dem fiasco.

Obama comes to Rancho Mirage, CA so as to hold a weekend conference with King Abdula of Jordan. Right, I am really sure that Abdula who lives in a desert wants to come to a California desert. What is at play here is that the US taxpayers will foot the bill for Obama to fly to CA so that he can do fund raising in Fresno. The Rancho Mirage meeting is just a cover. Consider that Abdula will be in Washington next week. Say what???

Not only that, his Secret Service contingent is creating a nightmare here in the Coachella Valley which is one of the prime winter resort areas in the US. We have three airports here. Two of them will not be allowing any general aviation flights from Friday to Monday afternoon. No general aviation flights within a 10 mile radius of the Sunnyland estate in Rancho Mirage. Plus, all general aviation flights more than 10 miles but within a 30 mile radius which takes in our only remaining airport in Thermal must get prior approval.

Then we have the matter of the closure of two main 4 lane arterial roadways which usually carry a great deal of traffic. There is far more traffic and it is far closer to the White House than the traffic on the roads around the Sunnyland estate.

The major hospital in this valley, Eisenhower Medical Center, is just down the road from Sunnyland. The closing of Bob Hope Drive will shut off the main northern access to the hospital resulting in a several mile detour.

This is a holiday weekend. This valley is chock full of out of town visitors. Many businesses will be shut down for “security” reasons at one of our busiest weekends. Fund raising plans previously scheduled for the Sunnyland estate had to be cancelled. Will the Democrat Party reimburse the charitable organizations? Not likely.

It closes 8 airports Friday to Monday.

I hope there is a fire and the water dropping aircraft are grounded because of him as they are in Hemmit which is one of the airports affected.
