President Barack Obama Leaves LA

After a day of fundraising and inconveniencing Los Angeles drivers, President Barack Obama has left LA.

Air Force One left LAX at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, en route to Denver, where he will promote his American Jobs Act bill.

The president was in LA for two fundraisers, one at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. The other was at Fig & Olive restaurant on Melrose Place.

The stops were part of Obama's three-day West Coast fundraising trip. In the Bay Area, he stopped by business social networking site, LinkedIn. He was also in San Diego for a fundraiser.

Temporary no parking signs lined Santa Monica and Sunset boulevards for the president's motorcade. A portion of San Vicente Boulevard was closed until noon Tuesday.

This was President Obama's seventh visit to LA.
