"Carmageddon" -- when the 405 was closed for a weekend through the Sepulveda Pass -- turned into a breeze, because Metro warned motorists for weeks in advance.

We hear from Metro and some angry drivers. Also, the President cashes in again on California's political ATM. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, can the leaders of Europe save the Euro? Why should they want to?
