Obama leaves WH without press, breaking protocol

President Barack Obama quietly breached years of protocol on Saturday morning by leaving the White House without the press with him.

About two hours before reporters were supposed to be in position to leave with the president, Obama left the grounds of the White House. Members of the press were told he was attending one of his daughter's soccer games in northwest Washington, D.C.

The White House press corps traditionally travels with the president anywhere he goes, inside and outside the country, to report on the president's activities for the benefit of informing the public and for historical record.

“5) Couldn’t name one White Sox player

Wouldn’t be grand if Dibble had asked him “Ever heard of Minnie Minoso?”

Well it would have taken his 17 minutes of rambling ... to NOT be able to answer that question. Pelosi’s little pet eunuch is a dope addict, IMO. We need to start demanding that he be tested.

I wonder what Helen Thomas is thinking now... Right after zero’s inauguration she did an article about Robert Gibbs. In it she complained that all questions from the press were screened before all PCs or even the daily briefing with Gibbs (it was the same interview where he self-defined his position in the administration as the “keeper of the image” hence, my fave name for Gibbs as “Sgt. Gibbels”). I wonder if it’s still the same now - and I wonder if Thomas has been shut-up, or whether she will remark on this breach. I don’t like her personally, but she has been there the longest...

4) Can’t tell the truth = Narcissist

I’m not discounting the others but unable to tell the truth is one of the key descriptions of a Narcissist.

I personally don’t give a shat where he goes......

I *do*, because he's not Constitutionally Housebroken.

So I don't want to have to clean up after him, OR step in it.

Cheers!

Well said post #20.

Yeah, now if he were to leave the White House and never come back I’d be the first one to yell YIPPEE!!

“What’s he hiding?”

Difficult to pick someone to root for in this fight.

One would think the leader of the free world would be otherwise occupied in light of the Polish disaster.

You are absolutely correct. A despicable cretin currently occupies the White House.

Candy of the nasal persuasion.

Who is that?

THAT is Obambi's personal secretary.

Maybe he took a little ride over to the new underground bunker (think about White Sulfur Springs, only closer) to check it out. You know, the bunker that all the elitist Demoncrats will rush to when the all the crap hits the fans ! Oh, and you better know that NO Republicans will be allowed in it.

Once Hitler became Chancellor, Presseleiter Amann peeled off his gloves. In 1933, the entire Social Democratic and Communist press, totaling some 150 papers hostile to Hitler, vanished without trace. That same year, the party passed a law decreeing that editors must "regulate their work in accordance with National Socialism as a philosophy of life." The Amann ordinances, passed two years later, required publishers to trace their own and their wives' racial "purity" back through four generations. Amann outlawed publications that appealed to "confessional groups"—an assault on Germany's Catholic press. Read more: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,875820,00.html#ixzz0klKs5UM7

Couch time.

"Reporters and photographers didn't have a chance to see him or his vehicle to verify his presence at any location."

I think he is now overload, has short circuited, and is in a "mental funk". But it would be extremely embarrassing for that to slip out. So they are pulling up the drawbridge and deepening the moat. He is going to go Nixon on us, just watch. And then, based on paranoia or lack of wisdom or stress or megalomania or whatever, he will slip and do the impeachable. Only he wont be answering to a Democrat Senate and House in 2013.
