A woman in labor reportedly was blocked from crossing the street to get to a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday because of President Obama's motorcade.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the woman was trying to get to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and was stopped by authorities because Obama's motorcade was going to come through the area.

Cedars-Sinai medical staff reportedly came to help the woman while she sat on a bus bench waiting to get to the hospital, witnesses told the Times.

The story was first reported by The Blaze. Witness Carrie Clifford told the website that the woman had to wait at least 30 minutes to walk just a few hundred feet to the hospital.

2. Wingbat

Combination of wingnut and dingbat

[Aerows]

3. I'm sure that this happened

and then the President got out of the car with a coat hanger to help her.

[randys1]

6. The motorcade story is very possible, as it would have been with ANY president

once again, the need for righty to report it at fox and blaze is racism

[Aerows]

9. Insanity is more like it. n/t

[Gravitycollapse]

4. Needless to say, all Presidential motorcades cause traffic nightmares.

I'm not sure if this story is true. But, if it is, it would be true for any other President.

[Thinkingabout]

5. Interesting how this story stopped before announncing how long it was afterwards she gave birth or

even whether the mother and child is alright. Just like Republicans, they are more interested in a mother giving birth than the health and welfare of the mother and child after birth/

11. I don't think they really care if she gives birth

They just want to use her (and then discard her) for publicity and money. Think : Plumber Joe or Paula Jones

[Thinkingabout]

13. The GOP is about forced births, nothing afterwards.

[joeybee12]

7. Then Obama personally took her to Planned Parenthood...

Had the baby aborted, and forced birth control on the woman so she would never get pregnant again!

[Aerows]

8. My thoughts exactly

These people report things that are inane beyond belief. Why do we allow lies like this to pretend to be news?

[Cal33]

12. 90% of the news media is Republican-owned. They can twist any story any way they please, don't

you think? That's the advantage of owning news media.

10. This is how presidential motorcades have worked for more than 50 years.

Ever since a certain day in late November of 1963.

[Johonny]

14. Obama is the first president to have fund raisers, a plane, a motorcade, go on vacation etc

or you know Republicans make everything into the worst thing they ever heard.

I remember in the 90s hearing a Rethug complain that Clinton got a hair cut at LAX and his flight took off late.

15. Y'all know how this would have been reported in 1984 rather than 2014

PATRIOTIC MOTHER HONORS REAGAN MOTORCADE BY DELAYING BIRTH

LOS ANGELES (Spurious News Network) - Overwhelmed by patriotic emotion, a woman who learned President Reagan would be traveling by motorcade in the vicinity of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center staggered, in the throes of labor, to 3rd Avenue to pay her respects to America's Greatest President.

"She is a true American," witness Carrie Clifford said. "As the mother of five children I can vividly remember my first labor. I don't think I could have stood for thirty minutes, but she spent the whole time thinking not of her pain, but of the great freedom President Reagan has provided us. All America should be proud of her."

At long last, when she bravely surrendered to her pain, she was escorted into the hospital where she gave birth to a six-pound boy. Hospital spokeswoman Mary Smith reports the proud mother, Susan Jones, has named the child Ronald Reagan Jones. "She wanted a way to forever commemorate her feelings of this great day, and naming her son after our finest president is, as she said, the least she could do.

16. There's nothing Obama can do that will satisfy these morons.

17. I've had this happen.

This has happened to me twice. First time was 15 minutes the second was 20 mins.

ETA: But not while pregnant and in labor. No kids from my nether regions!
