Reading the story about President Obama breaking tradition and ditching the presidential press pool over the weekend to watch one of his daughter's soccer games, it appears harmless, right? Not so. It is rather disturbing when you dissect it. So let's do just that. According to the Chicago Sun Times, the press pool was to assemble at 11:30AM.
However, Time reported:
The president left the White House at approximately 9:20 to attend one of his daughter's soccer games at 40th and Chesapeake NW. A pool was hastily called at around 9:35 and drove north at 9:43 to catch the president before the game ended. We didn't make it. The President returned to the White House at 10:17. The pool returned at 10:30. We now return you to your regularly scheduled pool call time.
Seems simple enough. But the story has several problems. The first one is a biggie in that there were no scheduled soccer games for Sidwell Friends April 10, as evidenced here. The second is that the area reported that the game was played at appears to be one of high crime, as documented here and here. Additionally, this is a picture of the field via Google Maps, where Obama went to watch the game.

Make a new plan, Change-man
No need to say sorry, Hope-boy
Just take a break and we’re free
Just throw her under the bus, Gus
Don’t need to listen to ‘em much
Just drop off the key, then flee
And set this nation free”

This is a little late, but a friend of mine who is in the SS said this is one story that got it wrong because the SS was at a soccer game with the Pres. If my friend said it, it’s true.

He's President of the United States. He has lots of friends. If he does cocaine then he probably has friends who could bring cocaine to him.
