I do have a reaction to this:
As gossip websites buzzed about Gwyneth Paltrow and President Obama — her “you’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly” is already being mocked unmercifully — her Los Angeles neighbors lashed out Friday that the Paltrow-hosted presidential fund-raiser had come at their expense.
Traffic stood still, children were stranded at school, residents could not leave their own driveways. That’s not the way life is supposed to be lived in Mandeville Canyon.
It’s only two words, though. Second word? ‘You.’ If the citizens of Mandeville Canyon didn’t want Barack Obama personally making their lives difficult, maybe they shouldn’t have voted for the man in 2008 and 2012. 61% percent of the vote in 2012 for CA-33, I believe.

PS: No, you should have no sympathy. These people looked at Henry Waxman for decades and said to themselves Gee, we gotta keep that guy in office. Harden your hearts.
