Dispatches from the small group of reporters that always travel with the president – referred to as “pool reports” – are usually pretty mundane affairs: Air Force One landed at such and such a time, POTUS (president of the United States) motorcaded to such and such spot, POTUS did this, POTUS did that.
But Saturday evening in Chicago, as the pool of roughly seven or eight reporters waited for President Obama while he and his family attended a backyard barbecue at a friend’s house, they were surrounded by nearly two-dozen members of the Nation of Islam’s security services.
Here’s how it went down, based on pool reports from the New York Times’ Jackie Calmes. Pool reports are sent out to the entire White House press corps, as well as other reporters who ask to receive them.
At 4:10 p.m., the reporters in the pool were positioned at the corner of Greenwood Avenue and East 50th Street and watched as the president, first lady Michelle Obama, their daughters Malia and Sasha, and the first lady’s mother and brother and his wife walked up the street to the home of Marty Nesbitt.
The pool was then moved, in vans as part of a motorcade, to Woodlawn and 49th, where they waited for several hours. It turns out, they were right in front of the home of Louis Farrakhan, the current leader of the Nation of Islam.
As the handful of reporters stood on the sidewalk outside the vans passing time, a man came out of Farrakhan’s mansion and asked them to keep their feet off the grass, though as Calmes’ report notes, the only grass their feet had touched was city curbside property.

4:10pm} one Fruit questions reporters, retreats, talks on cell phone, uses radio, mentions "CIA"
8:00pm} moving swiftly, the first Fruit is joined by three others!!
8:45} a dozen Fruits now assembled; two walk around chanting "Islam"
9:20} now 22 have assembled, "greeting each other with elaborate handshake/hug/double air-kisses"
10:15} "the standoff ended with the help of a local clergyman"
This must have been the B team.
Ain’t that the truth!
Thugs living in a neighborhood of thugs. Nicely dressed thugs though.
.....Bad Neighborhood !.....
How about bad city. The daily number of homicides and shootings is going asymptotic. The danger of an inadvertent drive by shooting by igmos who are unaware of the Messiah’s presence is real.
Call it a militia wing.. and they do.
Pfffft, you got me, it was in the article. Those NoI guys are nutty as squirrel poop.

Lot of work to do after brokko loses in ‘12.
Seems perfectly normal to me.Why just look at the buffet table at any party. The fruits and nuts always surround the punchbowl of koolaid.
That would be it.
A very hardy AMEN to that!
Not to worry. There are a HELL of a lot more of us than there are of them!
Ah.
