CHICAGO (Reuters Life!) – It wasn't quite a Halloween nightmare on Obama street, but journalists on Friday drew a rare flash of anger from the normally unflappable Democratic presidential nominee.
Barack Obama had taken a break from the campaign trail for a few hours of Halloween fun at home with his family four days before the election, but ended up visibly annoyed when news crews dogged their footsteps in their Chicago neighborhood.
"That's enough. You've got a shot. Leave us alone," Obama told reporters as he walked down the block with his 7-year-old daughter Sasha in her costume on the way to a party at a neighbor's home.
Obama, usually cool in public during a campaign that has turned him into the frontrunner for the White House, did not disguise his irritation when his surprise walk caused news photographers and camera crews to scramble for position on the sidewalk.
He grew especially testy when a Polish television cameraman tried to approach them.
"Come on guys, get back on the bus," he pleaded with journalists, many of whom had accompanied him from the airport to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood.

No need to get snippy.
Collar getting a little tight, Osama?
Hmmmmmmmm.
Pressure,
pushin’ down on me,
pushin’ down on you...
They are lucky he didn’t say “GET UNDER THE BUS!”
..yeah there's more room on the bus now that it has been purged
Sascha is adorable but I can't tell what her outfit is. Any guesses?
How rude! Dissing his fans is social suicide!!!
Very different from the Palin’s campaign stops today, where baby Trig was even in costume, and Piper was in an ice princess costume and gave candy away on the rope line.
Huge big difference.
Just ask Bill Clinton.
The article about the Palins that I read mentioned that Sasha was going to be a corpse bride. IIRC I wish I could remember where I saw it.

He must have been heading over to Bill Ayers house.
Winners don’t get snippy.
:)
Zero has never been in a real contested race before. Watch him melt under pressure. His fake lead has been exposed...
The article says it is “a corpse’s bride.”
I kid you not.
Get used to it Barry; The only chance you and your family have of ever having any privacy again is to loose the election.
His PA numbers were no Treat.
Pray for W McCain and Our Troops
