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.

Obama: This POTUS thing is getting old. Can’t I start a world war or something?

I think it is mental health counseling, only they are more than likely limiting this knowledge to the smallest amount of people, just the USSS who will de-facto be in the know, Michelle, the football carrier and other Pentagon staff, a few high level EOP aides, and his mental health professional, know.

They can NOT have this appear on the White House visitor's logs.

I am increasingly convinced even (and particularly), the Vice President is being kept out of the loop on this. I don't think it is drugs--at least not this foray out; that he could have brought into the Family Quarters of the Executive Mansion somehow. Not so a human being, particularly if researched in these post-Salahi days to be seen as being a psychiatrist.

There may be some connection on ZERO leaving the WH and Andy Stern suddenly stepping down.
