Obama leaves WH without press, breaking protocol
Google News ^ | 4/10/10 | AP

Posted on 04/10/2010 6:17:45 PM PDT by mort56

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.

4) Can’t tell the truth = Narcissist

I’m not discounting the others but unable to tell the truth is one of the key descriptions of a Narcissist.

Point well taken.

We’ll move #4 to the narcissist side of the chart for the Kenyan.

Like he doesn't get enough press coverage.

When Obama and the press get mad at each other, the winner is the American public.

From the New York Times: "White House officials said that Mr. Obama left at 9:20 this morning to attend one of his daughter’s soccer games in northwest Washington — before the pool of reporters had assembled at their regularly scheduled call time. White House handlers hastily assembled a small group of reporters to try to catch up with the president. The reporters gave chase at 9:43 a.m. but were unsuccessful, and the president was back at the White House at 10:17, after an apparently short game."

You make excellent observations.

I think we need to coin your term: "[Going] Nixon on us!" Funny!

And then, based on paranoia or lack of wisdom or stress or megalomania or whatever, he will slip and do the impeachable.

My wife and I were just taking about this very thing this morning. In particular, I told my wife, I believe Palin is toying with this guy to make him blow a head gasket, and totally lose it in public!

I beginning to think Palin is doing an Alinsky on Obama!

Thanks Artcore. Very kind words....

My take? Yes, I believe so. Sarah Palin has someone on her staff now who is very senior, and very savvy and knows the PSY WAR game. If she is (hopefully) on her humble knees every night before sleep asking the Holy Spirit for Wisdom and guidance, He is then also helping things along and confounding those in Evil and Darkness whom harbor only the worst contempt and intent for our Great Republic. (Laugh, lurking libs, just keep laughing!)

Gov. Palin seems to be undergoing a kind of prepping and coaching in this regard and this professional person or persons is/are indeed engaging in this very savvy, very low yet potent intensity psychological warfare against the White House right before our eyes. Bottom line: They are testing his guts. They are doing it to see if Patrice Lumumba Obongo gets the squirts.

And he is.

Brilliant stuff. I enjoy watching this armchair style. Folks this is exactly what is going on.

Considering the current state of today’s lapdog yellow journalism, it hardly makes a difference.
Yet, they do not even notice how this guy pisses on them, all the while telling them that it’s really raining.
They deserve to be treated like red-headed step children, even by the Pretender in Chief.

More than likely, if Obama’s daughters go anywhere, cameras and cell phones are secured, except when a photo op is needed. It may simply be standard practice at a school that likely caters to other VIPs’ children who need to remain anonymous. A bunch of press photographers would not be welcome where kidnap targets are running around a soccer field.

If the President wants to duck out without the leeches, fine by me.

This is quite out of character for the egotistical Bummer. When he passes wind, it’s supposed to be news.

Do you think he’s going to have a choice?

God is not mocked.

Their LIES to the American People as to their whereabouts are going to leak out.

It is only a matter of time.

Somebody has their price and will write something after leaving the White House, realizing it is a sinking ship. In fact, I would love to get a take, a gut-level sense, of all the White House resumes from WH interns and fellows GOING OUT these days, as oppposed to the flood of resumes COMING IN a little over a year ago. That would be very, very telling. Young people have a) a certain lack of loyalty to corporate or organizational sinking ships; and b) a certain sensitivity and savvy as to exactly whether THEY THEMSELVES are on such a sinking ship.

Oh one would love to take a few of them to a Starbucks on K Street in Washington, D.C. these days and flip for the coffee and engage in a little back channel, off record.

I bet it is bad over there.

REALLY BAD.

The place leaks like a sieve, I don't see how difficult it would be for a few Freepers with real initiative and moxie to burrow in and get the dope on these guys.
