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.

Did they stomp on the flag in Bill Ayers’ alley?
Give me a break. Obama did the Access Hollywood thing with his kids. They also had the “Hi, daddy” thing at the convention. I didn’t have a problem with either Obama doing that or the Palins on Greta. Who cares.
...the candies will be delivered tomorrow by messenger as promised and agreed to in previous meetings with ACORN......shuuuush!, any further discussion about said candies will be classified as racist propaganda and the picket lines will ensue, all personal information about you and your family will be exposed nationwide....do you understand?
Just wait til he gets his azz handed to him next Tuesday night, gonna see some real big flashes of anger then
This place is insane, sometimes.
Amen and amen.
Just my style of parenting, that’s all. As the mom of a special needs’ child, I would want my child at home getting therapy. I’d want him away from so much stimulation. As a mom of so-called “normal” kids, I would want my kids at home having a “normal” life. Oh...I’d probably have them with me a couple of times - after all this is history in the making - but I prefer my kids to have normal, orderly, routine lives. If I were Sarah, Todd would be an at-home dad most of the time I was on the campaign trail, since he’s not really into public speaking, anyway. (Although he is nice eye candy. haha)
Well, Obama “paraded” his kids on Access Hollywood.
(I didn’t have a problem with that nor the Palins on Greta.)
Almost two years on the campaign trail, and you can count on one hand the number of public appearances those kids have made. Good for the Obamas. It’s the one thing I admire about them. It’s a pretty short list. haha
Too bad jackass. You want to be President. This is part of the price you pay.
How will it be if he is in the White House and his work load is too much or the press actually decides to do its job.
Barack CAN’T HANDLE IT !
Oh, I just got that, LOL!
Sure that wasn't Michelle?
BTW, what is the origin of popularity of the idea of a "corpse bride"?
ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That’s what I’m on about. Did you see him repressing me?
I guess Barry and Michelle leave them with Uncle Bill when they’re out campaigning.
Sign seen somewhere tonight:
“SORRY SASCHA, BUT DADDY’S GOING TO ‘RE-DISTRIBUTE’ ALL OF YOUR CANDY”
/sarcasm
“you can count on one hand the number of public appearances those kids have made”
You apparently don’t get out much. Those kids’ faces were plastered over the pages of dozens of magazines in the past year.
Going to see a lot of that comming from him on Nov 5th, 2008!!
We are going to win this!!
shudder
a corpses bride.
