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.

(8,155 posts)I'm not sure if this story is true. But, if it is, it would be true for any other President.

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

(50,557 posts)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.
