My day with Obama: Basketball, Tea Parties and an otherwise lazy Sunday-Reggie Love+TeaParty protest
MinnPost ^ | September 12, 2010 | Derek Wallbank

EXCERPTS

Pool arrived at Fort McNair at 9:21 a.m. Your pooler did not see the president as he exited. Am told by White House staff that Reggie Love is playing basketball with the POTUS today - that's the only name your pooler has so far. No sign of any NBA all stars this time.

(snip)

Motorcade departed Fort McNair at 11:18 a.m. Arrived at the White House at 11:35 a.m.

As we drove through the National Mall, your pooler could see a crowd of about 100-200 on the Capitol steps to the right and small groups to the left setting up for a lacrosse game on the Mall. Neither appeared to take any notice of the motorcade. Further along Pennsylvania Avenue, Tea Party members lined the road for at least three to four blocks, including at the gates to the grounds, holding signs and yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flags. A few hoots and hollers, as well as some waving of hands and flags was observed. Additionally, several in the crowd were observed clapping as the motorcade passed.

Signs observed included "We the people, not we the government," and various reminders that there's an election coming up in November.

Oh, those poor men and women assigned to guard that P.O.S.! The shame of having to protect this anti-American creep must really weigh on their hearts.

I am not one to give grief on how he looks, but seriously he looks sick, so thin.

I concur ... he looks very thin, (and not well, IMHO).

You can't assume they don't like him, there are a lot of hard-core leftists in gov't service. I even knew a handful of them when I was in the military.

What - no church? For a boy that sat in Wright's church for 20 years this guy is a backslider. (or a Muslim afraid to attend those services)
