Obama arrival Monday will be at rush hour

President Barack Obama is scheduled to arrive at LAX on board Air Force One between 4:30 and 5 p.m. on Monday, the White House just announced. This means that however he moves to the Hancock Park area for Democratic campaign fundraisers at the home of producer James Lassiter and later at the home of Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, his travel will fall during the peak time for cross-town traffic. Yeah, we're talking Obamajam again. The White House also confirmed that the president will stay overnight in the area, then tape an interview with Jay Leno for Tuesday's "Tonight Show" before departing from LAX mid-morning for San Francisco and Denver.
