President urges media shutterbugs to respect daughters’ privacy

EDGARTOWN - The Obama White House, like administrations before it, has gone to great lengths to accommodate the press corps traveling with the president on his first official vacation in office. Staffers arranged for a filing center at a local school, assembled

Unlike recent presidents, Obama has two young children, and the first couple is adamant that the girls be left alone.

HA! The Bush daughters were just a few years older than the Obama girls, and the Presstitutes went after them will everything they had.

Since the Vineyard has relatively few roads - and it’s easy to figure out how Obama would travel from one venue to another - those in the press pool must agree not to telegraph where he’s going.

Come on! How was this different from Bush's vacations to Crawford TX? How many roads did that small town have?

Oh, and didn't the media just LOVE IT when Cindy Sheehan and showed up with her mentally unstable mind and staged her little hissy fit outside of Bush's home? That got 24/7 coverage as I recall, and the press lapped it up.

The hypocrisy is stunning.

Remember, people like this vote.

Obama’s family should get all the respect shown to Palin’s family.

Flashback to the MSM:

[ClearCase_guy]

I've heard that Cindy Sheehan is going to show up in Martha's Vineyard and protest Obama's foreign policy (I'm serious).

But I don't imagine the press will talk about it much. I mean -- she's mentally unstable. Everybody knows that. So it's best to just ignore here. Right?

Further, added press aide Katie Lillie, there will be no tolerating reporters using cellphones to call or text friends with the president’s latest movements on the island. Since the Vineyard has relatively few roads - and it’s easy to figure out how Obama would travel from one venue to another - those in the press pool must agree not to telegraph where he’s going.

Violators, she said, would be thrown out of the pool.

What liberty and leeway this Administration now gives to those in the MSM who fawn over it. They now want to control every aspect of the message coming from State Run media. Transgressors will be excommunicated from the cult of worship!

So much for amendment one.

I would like MSNBC to cover a vigil held outside where the Obmam's are staying, invite a panel of 7 Liberals to scream at the TV, and tell us all how Barack cannot go on vacation while Americans are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Conman Should have thought of that before releasing his DNC Perverts to harass Sarah Palins little girl selling lemonade.

Quoting from memory (and possibly making some errors) a passage from PJ O’Rourke on Jimmy Carter:

“First Lady Rosalyn Carter said that she always felt relief when Jimmy was able to get a few hours’ sleep. ‘It did my heart good to see him so peaceful.’

The rest of us were just as gratified to see the incompetent SOB off the job for a while.”

The modern media do only one thing well: star*******

But if Obama truly wants to get away and be ignored we should all honor his wishes.

[SkyPilot]

Well, it is the media.

The have been wearing lipstick, high heels, and garter belts for Obama for so long, they don't know what to do now that they realize he isn't the Messiah.

Barack Obama REALLY does not comprehend what it means to be President of the United States. The office is MUCH bigger than just him and his family. If he wanted to live the private life, he never should have put in for the job.

[SkyPilot]

Bias?

Where?

[Dixie Yooper]

and the first couple is adamant that the girls be left alone

I don't think you want to leave your girls alone...

[a fool in paradise]

Violators, she said, would be thrown out of the pool...

And under the bus.

Her Highness has arrived. No pictures, please.

The hypocrisy is stunning.

Yep.

My wife and I vacationed in Kennebunkport Maine back in 1988.

President Bush came by in his boat while were sitting on the rocks on Ocean Ave, right down from his estate on Walker's Point.

He waved right at us, and it was so neat.

I turned on CNN a couple of hours afterwards, and it was wall to wall bitter and negative coverage about "why the President should not be on vacation."

Funny, you don't hear that about King Barack.

Sure I urge the media to respect the lil obamas the same as they respected the lil palins!
