Obama leaves WH without press, breaking protocol
(AP) – 17 hours ago

WASHINGTON — 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.

Can you imagine if GWB left the WH without the press in tow?

Well the media now knows they can no longer trust Obama's press office to tell them  the truth.   

He has accomplished so much in such a short period of time hasn't he?

A FReeper checked the Sidwell website, no soccer games were scheduled apparently.

I'd like to know where he ran off to....

Something like this should worry the American people.  It wasn't just an "oopsy!" that Obama left without the press two hours before scheduled.

He doesn't have to worry about the press not knowing where he went....the one that he has to really lie to and convince is 'Chelle....... :rotf: President or not she will hang his ass if he don't have a good excuse.

Well he sure can't pull a JFK and have them brought to the Whitehouse.

Well lets see here, when one has limitless money, looks and fame, can have most any woman he wishes and most likely has, sooner or later he may as they say, start looking about for something he has not tried before.   

Sex addiction like any addiction must lead down some strange twists and turns looking for the ultimate HIGH.
