Holed up with seven other global leaders in the woods of Muskoka, Canada, President Barack Obama gave the White House press corps the slip last night. The president is attending the G-8 and G-20 summits with his global counterparts this weekend. The G-8 began yesterday in Muskoka in Huntsville, Ont., and ends today. The G-20 is in Toronto, about 150 miles away, and starts this afternoon. Last night, the White House sent the press corps — which by agreement stays close to the president in order to report on any incident — back to Toronto, leaving the president 150 miles behind. In the wee hours of this morning, the crew of a dozen or so reporters and photographers in the press corps got back on a bus and returned to Muskoka for the day’s events. It is highly unusual for the president to shun his permanent media detail that way, particularly at a high-profile event in a remote location. One White House aide speculated that it was due to scarce accommodations in Muskoka — which is a resort area. But Mr. Obama, who’s been quite vocal in his disdain for the press at times, has blown off his press corps in the past. The White House Correspondents’ Association complained to press secretary Robert Gibbs recently when the president left the White House on a Saturday, avoided the waiting press corps, and attended his daughter’s soccer game in Northwest D.C. This is a far more significant offense than that one, and is likely to draw another complaint.

If the Republicans win back Congress in November, they should spend the next 2 years dragging the MSM before Congress for hearings and investigations.
I think he has a “honey” on the side.
Hard for me to defend him at all but his daughters soccer game did not need a gaggle of reporters on the sidelines. No president should be at the mercy of the press 24/7.
He does just the MSM has not reported it.
IdiotPOTUS went to grab his teleprompters......bet, cause unless scripted, we all know IdiotPOTUS canNOT handle the tough and critical questions....
Check the Toronto Gay Bath houses with Rahm.
Has that ever been confirmed? Wouldn't there have been plenty of reports of his having been there by other people attending?
I find this part of Øbozo’s methodology fascinating. A normal person would recognize how critical a compliant press was to his successful election and throw them a few bones now and again.
But not Øbozo. Because he is so narcissistic and so thin-skinned his piss-off with the press has become blatant. Naturally many urnalists are so politically hidebound that no insult or offense is going to deter them from presenting the party line, but there must be some who will discover the limits of abuse?
What will Øbozo do when the press no longer renders aid for his malevolent schemes?
Private meeting with Soros and everyone else pulling his strings.
He is out cruising for mansex
What, you dont expect him to smoke a doob on cam, do ya?
Either the homosexual hangouts or meeting with the puppet master, Soros.

... or a "homey"
He's at the local precinct bailing out the window breakers while giving each and every one a "hi five" as they depart the station.
Except there wasn’t a soccer game where he said he was.
I won’t debate that point,i recall there being questions as to that. That being said that’s a WSJ article which is about as high as we get in journalism standards these days.
