Woman in labor blocked from hospital by Obama motorcade

A pregnant woman in labor was forbidden from crossing the street — to get to a hospital — in LA because President Obama’s motorcade was in the area on Wednesday, witnesses said.

The woman was barred from walking to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for 30 minutes, according to The Blaze website, which first reported the story.

“This woman is in labor but can’t get to Cedars cuz of Obama!!!” witness Carrie Clifford tweeted, along with a picture of the woman.

Other outraged onlookers took to social media — posting photos of the woman as she sat on a bus bench — and spawning the hashtag #ObamaBabyWatch.

Medical staff from the hospital rushed to help the pregnant woman, witnesses said.

“A few people in scrubs are there now. Still no baby. Still no #Obama,” Clifford added later.

There was no word on whether the baby had been born on Thursday.

Obama was in California, visiting West Hollywood, downtown Los Angeles and Mid-Wilshire and other nearby cities Wednesday afternoon.
