WASHINGTON (CNN) - If you think U.S. presidents are immune to traffic jams, think again.
President Barack Obama hit traffic early Sunday afternoon as he headed south on I-95 from the White House to Fort Belvoir, a military base in northern Virginia, where Obama was scheduled to play a round of golf.
According to the pool report, the president's motorcade hit a large traffic jam at the "Sprinfield interchange," where interstates 95, 395 and 495 all intersect. That stretch of road is known for bottlenecks.
After slogging through bumper to bumper conditions for 15 minutes, the motorcade cut across traffic and left the highway at exit 166.

You mean the man whom some thing "walk on water" couldn't part the way of the traffic for him to get thru. Darn it! Knew he should have taken Air Force One!!!
Hard up for News?? This story belongs on Entertainment tonight.
wow!!!!! what a newsworthy story! I guess whenever Obama blinks, CNN's right there with it's crack, biased coverage...!
Absolutely sickening the way the media places this facade on a pedestal.
The President's people should remember what Bush said he would miss when he left the Whitehouse. I believe being able to avoid traffic was high on his list.
