Reading the story about President Obama breaking tradition and ditching the presidential press pool over the weekend to watch one of his daughter's soccer games, it appears harmless, right? Not so. It is rather disturbing when you dissect it. So let's do just that. According to the Chicago Sun Times, the press pool was to assemble at 11:30AM.
However, Time reported:
The president left the White House at approximately 9:20 to attend one of his daughter's soccer games at 40th and Chesapeake NW. A pool was hastily called at around 9:35 and drove north at 9:43 to catch the president before the game ended. We didn't make it. The President returned to the White House at 10:17. The pool returned at 10:30. We now return you to your regularly scheduled pool call time.
Seems simple enough. But the story has several problems. The first one is a biggie in that there were no scheduled soccer games for Sidwell Friends April 10, as evidenced here. The second is that the area reported that the game was played at appears to be one of high crime, as documented here and here. Additionally, this is a picture of the field via Google Maps, where Obama went to watch the game.
Another problem is that when the press pool got close to the reported location, they were told that Obama was leaving and to turn around. The press pool complied, but why? Wouldn't they have wanted a photo of him, even leaving the event, to formally document his whereabouts? What's also suspect is the very casual, nothing-to-see-here tone of the Time article.
Something is most definitely wrong. The President of the United States venturing out to a soccer game that didn't exist in a high-crime area. The Politico is also reporting that Obama acknowledged the problem with his actions:
Prior to Obama's bilateral meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, Obama told his colleague, "Apparently I caused quite a problem," adding something about his secretary not telling the Secret Service, according to, ironically enough, the pool report.
What's more concerning is that no one can confirm if the Secret Service even accompanied Obama on his adventure. Furthermore, let's look at the elapsed time. If the president left the White House at 9:20AM as reported, according to Mapquest, it takes about sixteen minutes to get from the White House to 40th and Chesapeake NW, bringing his arrival time to the field at 9:36AM or so. But then he would have had to leave the field at the latest at 10:00AM to return to the White House at the documented time of 10:17AM. So he spent about twenty minutes at the game? When did the game end? That time is vague as well.
With all of the technology that people have -- iPhones, Blackberries -- not one person took a photo of Obama? And the press didn't get a shot of him getting into his vehicle? Obama loves the cameras, and this is what he looks like at his daughter's soccer game.
Even three days later, there are still no pictures of the president from Saturday's game. The USA just disarmed to Russia, Poland's president and 95 others were killed hours before, and there were many international leaders in Washington, D.C. for the nuclear summit set to begin on Monday, April 12.
And we shouldn't raise even more questions on his whereabouts? According to the MSM, the answer is yes.
9:20 to 10:17? including travel time towards and back?
Meeting with Soros???
He needed a really long smoke.
Curious, isn’t it.
A date with Larry Sinclair?
so he lied, whats new?
He picked up a white envelope hid in an oak tree on Washington Parkway?
He met a “Sidewalk Pharmacist” for his monthly refill?
Nope. Rendezvous with his boyfriend.
Meeting with the head of SEIU?
LOL...But what was he smoking????? The secret service have got to be just beside themselves with this kind of crap..
The Press may have to actually stake out, “OMG”, his coming and going and do some investigative work. No more relying on the White House to announce when he comes and goes.
Somebody suggested that zero went to Kenyan Ambassy to try to stop releasing the Kenyan Assembly Report dated March 25, 2010, where the Kenyan official told that zero was born in Kenya.
Dead drop for a foreign power???
Bizarre. Some people have suggested that he never left the WH and actually wanted to mislead the press so that somebody - probably somebody like an emissary of Ahmadinejad - could meet him at the WH without any prying eyes around them.
Of course, I guess it’s always possible that he just wanted to go out and eat a waffle by himself (stupid, surly little brat that he is), but I’d suspect there’s something a little more ominous to this.
Obama is an active, using, cocaine addict by his own published word.
FYI...A “dead drop” is where someone leaves an object of intelligence for a foreign agent to recover. It is usually disguised as an object that would fit the area (no one else would suspect it), but distinct enough for the agent to be able to distinguish it from the background
....maYBE THIS IS THE STORY HE WANTS KEPT OUT OF THE news
He was meeting with Michelle? He could have done that at the WH. Oh, now I get it. ;-)
