Dispatches from the small group of reporters that always travel with the president – referred to as “pool reports” – are usually pretty mundane affairs: Air Force One landed at such and such a time, POTUS (president of the United States) motorcaded to such and such spot, POTUS did this, POTUS did that.
But Saturday evening in Chicago, as the pool of roughly seven or eight reporters waited for President Obama while he and his family attended a backyard barbecue at a friend’s house, they were surrounded by nearly two-dozen members of the Nation of Islam’s security services.
Here’s how it went down, based on pool reports from the New York Times’ Jackie Calmes. Pool reports are sent out to the entire White House press corps, as well as other reporters who ask to receive them.
At 4:10 p.m., the reporters in the pool were positioned at the corner of Greenwood Avenue and East 50th Street and watched as the president, first lady Michelle Obama, their daughters Malia and Sasha, and the first lady’s mother and brother and his wife walked up the street to the home of Marty Nesbitt.
The pool was then moved, in vans as part of a motorcade, to Woodlawn and 49th, where they waited for several hours. It turns out, they were right in front of the home of Louis Farrakhan, the current leader of the Nation of Islam.
As the handful of reporters stood on the sidewalk outside the vans passing time, a man came out of Farrakhan’s mansion and asked them to keep their feet off the grass, though as Calmes’ report notes, the only grass their feet had touched was city curbside property.

Interesting how the PC ended up in the middle of the cesspool.
Wonder how long it will take them to get the stench of Chi-twn off of them.

***** thuggery makes the oval office bastard feel safe in Chicago.
I wonder what sort of reaction would occur if the Tea Parties had a “paramilitary wing”.
Someone was really scared inside that one of the “reporters” outside knew what was really going on inside the bbq. Too bad whoever it was doesn’t know our “free” press well enough to know that it doesn’t know anything!!
Civilian Military? Brown Shirts? The One must remember, what goes around, comes around.
Bad Neighborhood ! ...full of thugs & home-grown Marxist terrorists.
Any of these “reporters” think to pick up a camera?
: o /
The Secret Service lets guys like that close to Obama???
Nation of Islam = Immature racist a-holes. Oh wait, true racism can only be perpetrated by white males. Stupid me.
It already exists, they’re called Patriots and they’re armed, but not called into duty, yet.
I read what is I guess the same article linked at Drudge. It’s totally bizarre how the NoI guys were acting, it almost sounds like an article you would read on The Onion.
I mean “Wide or Die” and “Fruite of Islam” t-shirts? Must have bought them at the boutique aboard the mother wheel ;)
Imagine what it would have been like with no secret service there...and reporters were covering another event.
They let them assemble at voting booths didn’t they?
