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.

HE WAS TAKING HER TO A PARTY, BECAUSE IT'S A PAIN THE AS_ FOR THE SECRET SERVICE TO SECURE AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HIS KIDS TO GO TRICK OR TREATING.

Instead the family attended a Halloween party behind closed doors at a friend's home.
Which friend?

Rare? This is one of the angriest men in america. I think only his wife is angrier.

This article says what the Obama girls costumes were. And Sasha was supposed to be a corpse bride.
So much for the Indian princess!

Barry was dressed as either one of the Blues Brothers (”Are you musicians?”) or as a Manchurian Candidate.

YEAH, walking one kid down the street to a party is being an attention whore, but parading your kids on Fox is not.
This place is insane, sometimes.

"I HAVE A QUESTION TO ALL OF YOU: If The LITTLE GIRL (Obamas daughter) is GOING TRICK OR TREATING, WHERE IS HER BAG TO CARRY THE CANDIES IN??? USUALLY trick or treaters have bags for candies...I guess this is all a photo shoot..."I have an answer for you: the child was going to a party at the neighbor's house, not trick or treating. Understand?

“I’m going to vote for not using kids on the campaign trail.”
Your thought is interesting, but I’ve never seen anyone not have children involved in the campaigning, except GWBush in 2000. Don’t know where you are coming from with this, Piper was giving and looked happy. Kids can’t fake that stuff. It is unusual for a child that young to give candy away. She gave some to a special needs child as well.

Believe me, you don't go trick or treating door-to-door in Chicago.
They've had 20 years of Klonsky/Ayers/Obama's "education reform" ...........and the results ain't pretty.

Can’t think of a more scary neighborhood to go trick or treating, can you?
Khalidi, Farakhan, Ayers, Rezko, Obama..
I’d be frightened....
