HONOLULU – The media glare, the constant security appendage and the sheer production that has become a morning jog or a hankering for an ice cream cone – it’s been closing in on Barack Obama for some time.
Now the president-elect appears increasingly conscious of the confines of his new position, bristling at the routine demands of press coverage and beginning to chafe at boundaries that are only going to get smaller.
Obama even took the unusual step Friday morning of leaving behind the pool of reporters assigned to follow him, taking his daughters to a nearby water park without them. It was a breach of longstanding protocol between presidents (or presidents-elect) and the media, that a gaggle of reporters representing television, print and wire services is with his motorcade at all times.

I’ll start felling sorry for jughead when the press invades his privacy enough to pull his original birth certificate from his bubble
next thing you know, it will be simply impossible to hire a male hooker to smoke crack with
My gosh, Politico has uncovered a scoop: BO has never had experience as a governor or a high official. Maybe other unknown facts will soon be revealed.
By the way, that dude, he look real cool with he cap on backwards. Maybe he brains is turned round, you know I mean?
I think you might be right. He's still gonna come to wish that photos hadn't been taken.
PS - that is indeed a skull cap, not a baseball cap.
A few years back, my nieces happened to run into President GHW Bush at a store in Houston. No press was around, but he did pause long enough to take a few pictures with them.
" . . . but it doesn’t mean he has to sacrifice all privacy with his family to satisfy the insatiable appetites of the media hounds."
This guy's every move should be examined under a microscope. He should be hounded until he shows his qualifications for the presidency. And if he is sworn in before that time, this country is going to deserve what it gets. In no time at all Obammy will have no problem with the press scrutinizing him. He'll go into hiding soon enough, unwilling to face the media's questions on the new policies he has planned for the country.
My apologizes ahead of time if I'm wrong. I just see too many FReepers already capitulating, acting as though the dude is a righteous candidate.
Might be a sign of backwardness to come.
No doubts that press team is polluted with honkies, whitey and those who can’t get down with the new brotherhood, y’all.
following his self-imposed sequestration our nation will experience martial law under the dictate of this TOTAL FRAUD
Exactly. Nobody forced him to run for office. It goes with the territory. He didn’t seem to mind the camera’s when he’s standing in front of Fake Greek Columns spewing forth a bunch of propaganda B.S.
Deal with it Berry, you chose to put you and your family in this position.
Gettin' jiggy wif it.
What was that underling's name with whom he was "involved".....?
Imagine that bubble if he were W? Course the Obamedia will back off rather than axe What he knows about Blago?
Pray for W America and Our Troops
It is, of course, a lot easier to withstand media scrutiny if you have not built so much on getting away with not revealing very much because it might bring your validity into question.
When they kneel and worship his every word, he can't get enough camera time....To be real honest I see him as the enemy, purely and simply as the enemy, I could care less about his privacy, I'm damn sure he wont care about mine or yours.
