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.

Larry Sinclair in the area by any chance?
Twice in one day: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2490527/posts
He’s just tired of the job already. It’s not nearly as much fun as he thought it would be.
Not sarcasm. I am sadly serious.
If a smoke break was in the mix, he’d be getting a twin spin.
And why wouldn’t the perfect mom go to the game with him?
What you said.
Maybe the prez needed a lil break from Aunt Ester
I hate the man with a passion, but it’s his kids soccer game.
Leave him alone. There are sooooo many real things to worry about.
You’re right. He’s a malignant narcissist, and they get bored quickly. Always on to the next thrill!
Somebody on an earlier thread said that he was not at the soccer game.
Or he can go to hell if he wants to.
I’ve heard reports he wasn’t at the soccer game.
According to this, there was no soccer game today

That’s assuming there IS a soccer game.
If reporters ever decided to practice real journalism...the possibilities are mind-boggling.
Perhaps he wanted to be alone while taking a nice long walk on a very short pier.
“I personally don’t give a shat where he goes......”
I second that!
[The White House press corps traditionally travels with the president anywhere he goes]
A fate worse than death.
I truly feel sorry for the Secret Service guys that have to put up with this narcissistic POS on a daily basis.
Dude this new definition of “transparency” is completely awesome! Can’t wait to use it on my jobs.
