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.

Nobody in my area buys those for their kids. 90% of the kids make their own and the rest are superheroes or princesses.

As the mother of a special needs' child (plus another 3), I believe the best place for my children is with me. The single best therapy for a baby with special needs is to spend as much time attached to mommy as possible, especially when the mommy can nurse. No therapy can undo a poor mother child attachment.
I think he was given the bad news tonight.
Utter rubish... your dislike of Palin is showing and it isn’t attractive.
Or "GO TO THE BACK OF THE BUS!"
