Campaign 2012

Obama dropping in Wednesday to do Leno

The White House Press Office advises that President Obama will land at LAX aboard Air Force One on Wednesday evening, go tape "The Tonight Show" and depart again from LAX two hours later. That probably means he'll be taking the helicopter over to somewhere in the Valley, perhaps Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, then choppering back. Minimum of traffic impact. He's due at an event in Las Vegas later that evening.
