Obama leaves WH without press, breaking protocol
Google News ^ | 4/10/10 | AP

Posted on 04/10/2010 6:17:45 PM PDT by mort56

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.

Well, I guess the old Roman Hruska line could be adjusted to says that “even drug users need representation too.”

“I think he had secret meeting with his commie handlers.”

Good a guess as any.

An astute observation with which I agree.

Thank you!

When I first heard this speculated, I thought people were just trying to be funny, but now...? He just looks like he’s coming unglued. Narcissism and drugs are a very self-destructive combo.

Adding to his meltdown is Palin is using his Saul Alinsky tactics against him! She’s causing little cracks (no pun intended) to form on this man’s psyche!

Check Obama out from the ABC interview the other day (watch his entire facial expression change when Steppie mentions Pailin’s name!):

He was gone for less than an hour to a “soccer game”. He slipped away dressed in a suit without his wife or the press. They gave the address of the game as 40th and Chesapeake NW, whatever that is.

Imagine GWB slipping out without Laura or the press to see a soccer game, and returns in under an hour. Would the press ignore that?

Anyone know what USSS agents are obliged to do should they witness and/or have knowledge of the POTUS committing a crime?

Bingo. And now that I think about it, that might explain the (seems like) DAILY announcements of reformed-this, reformed-that, top-priority this, etc.... IOW, if there isn’t a crisis or something brewing to keep him occupied and in the lime-light, he creates one.

He went to Murray’s Auto. My ex (also an MN) used that excuse every Tuesday afternoon, too numerous to count.

You might want to add “BIDEN” in your sentence for emphasis?
Also, why have the PRESS follow him, they onl report what Baghdad Bob Gibbs tells them to report anyway!The PRESS has become about as important as Tits on a FLEA since they started licking OBOZO’S Arse!

I think the Eastwood film Absolute Power gives a good insight into that question.

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

I second that!"

You SHOULD! Personally, I want to know what that man does EVERY second! I DEFINITELY don't trust him.

Oh come on! Do you expect the President to work weekends, nights, or vacation days? I bet Rahm takes over for him.

No kidding.

I was thinking, however, in terms of that particular incident.
