Obama leaves press pool behind after day of golf
Politico44 ^ | 5/26/12 | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

President Obama departed Joint Base Andrews following a round of golf Saturday afternoon, but the press pool tracking his every movement got left behind as the president headed back to the White House.

The vans carrying the reporters and photographers who rotate through following the president are generally at the tail end of his motorcade but, on Saturday, they were about 10 minutes behind Obama's car.

The protective pool, as it's sometimes called, is meant to follow the president as he moves from place to place, to convey news to other journalists and to, in the case of catastrophe, convey details of what went wrong independent of the White House.

On Saturday, the pool was told that Obama arrived back at the White House at 5:58 p.m. and entered the residence. But, since the pool didn't get back to the White House until 6:13, they couldn't independently report that.

The White House hasn't yet offered an on-the-record explanation of the incident.

And, like whipped puppies or abused spouses, they crawl back to Obama, moaning, “But what did we do? We’ll change, we swear!”

What is trying to hide and how exactly does this president get tee times whenever he likes at the spur of the moment?

Every minute he is on the golf course is one less minute for destroying our Country.

Pray for America

Time to go home, smoke a few joints, snort some coke, and watch a little gay porn with a friend, and then it will be back to community organizing on the campaign trail.

If Bush had done the same thing we would be suffering through weeks of news media lectures.

Why would Zer0 do a lick of work in the White House when he has his cadre of useful tools and the legion of State Owned Media to do the work for his survival as President?

Time for a little vacation after that grueling schedule of fundraising. Life’s so hard.

I’m going out on a limb here - but my guess is the MSM will forgive him, offer him a pass on everything, and not push the story about him eating dog.

Is this POS laying a wreath on Monday, or is he on the course?

Wow, you really know how to pick a winning hand, don’t you. If this was a bet, I don’t think you would get any takers!
