WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama quietly breached years of protocol on Saturday morning by leaving the White House without the press with him.

[Drango]

A pox on both 0bama and the press.

[Tarpon]

Needs a quick hit?

[texanyankee]

Probably needed a toke.

[jessduntno]

Date with Larry?

[texanyankee]

Brilliant minds think alike!

[nmh]

Did his teleprompter malfunction?

[Pavegunner72]

Oh the poor MSM!! Like a scorned lover...

[Fast Moving Angel]

Open door administration, huh? Transparency, huh?

[RatsDawg]

Odd.

[Shermy]

Boo hoo. Media economics. They didn’t get their shot of the kids playing soccer.

Excerpt:

About an hour 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 or outside the country, to report on the president’s activities for the benefit of informing the public and for historical record.

Obama has NO ANSWERS for their questions!

I thought Clinton did this regularly...

[BunnySlippers]

No one is to disturb ... The One.

[Ingtar]

Probably needed to meet someone with the know-how to handle the Polish governments’ deaths in the new Soviet Russia.

Being that this is from the AP, the first thing that crossed my mind was Frank Sinatra singing “Hey Jealous Lover”...

So who won? (Not that I care)

So what is new? The Zero's motto:

Been breaking protocol since January 20, 2009.

Does anyone know where he went? Who he met? What they did?
