President Obama Coming To New York For 3 Fundraisers

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – President Barack Obama is coming to town.

Drivers should expect frozen zones and traffic delays Tuesday afternoon as the president comes to Manhattan for three big-dollar fundraisers, including the 15th annual Democratic National Committee LGBT Leadership Council’s fundraiser.

The fundraiser comes a day after the White House announced plans for Obama to sign an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating against employees on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
