Obama arrives in town next week to campaign at the University of Southern California on behalf of Sen. Barbara Boxer and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown -- a place he hasn't visited since 2006, while he was a U.S. senator.
The Oct. 22 visit will be Obama's fifth trip to the Southland since taking office. His most recent visit, Aug. 16-17, raised the ire of many commuters because of traffic jams caused on the Westside due to the presidential motorcade.
