Obama leaves WH without press, breaking protocol
(AP) – 4 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.
After Obama left, a press aide hastily gathered members of the media who happened to be at the White House early or working on other matters. They rushed to a van and left the White House to catch up with the president.
Too late. By the time, the press van appeared to arrive at the president's location, the press was told he was already departing. Time to go back to the White House.
Reporters and photographers didn't have a chance to see him or his vehicle to verify his presence at any location.
Although nobody outside the White House or the press may have noticed, Obama broke years of tradition.
The small press "pool" that accompanies the president had been told to gather at the White House at 11:30 a.m. He left about 9:20 a.m.
Asked what happened, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said: "The president decided this morning to attend his daughter's soccer game. The pool was assembled as soon as possible to be there as well."
Obama eventually left the White House again on Saturday for a round of golf. This time, the press was with him. |

that's awesome....
i've always thought Presidents should be reported as to where they went and what they did rather than report
where they are going and what they are going to do.

Breaking White House tradition is all part of the change that some well meaning but overly trusting Amaricans voted for.

He snuck off to go see his daughter play soccer without the press.
Kudos to him on this. Every parent should feel the same way.

Believe it or not, in their private lives, they don't like being disruptive to other people.

There is a reason for everything Brian. Some of us believe in hope and change, others don't. How the hell do you know he went to see his daughter play soccer? You don't. That's why they bring a small group of White House reporters with them. On what basis is your trust built on? |

Buck: Two things.
1. I find it 100% impossible that he is the FIRST president, even if we are talking 'modern' era to leave w/o the press
2. I choose not to see the negative, conspiracy, he was at mosque type attitude and trust a dad went to see his kids to play soccer... of course... maybe they aren't his kids...  |

Your right, he most likely did go to the game.
I remember the movie "Dave", I think that was the name, it does happen all the time  |
