Obama Ditches Press Corps Again


Meeting with seven other world leaders in Canada, President Obama gave the White House press corps the slip last night.

Wall Street Journal: "It is highly unusual for the president to shun his permanent media detail that way, particularly at a high-profile event in a remote location. One White House aide speculated that it was due to scarce accommodations in Muskoka -- which is a resort area. But Mr. Obama, who's been quite vocal in his disdain for the press at times, has blown off his press corps in the past. The White House Correspondents' Association complained to press secretary Robert Gibbs recently when the president left the White House on a Saturday, avoided the waiting press corps, and attended his daughter's soccer game in Northwest D.C. This is a far more significant offense than that one, and is likely to draw another complaint."

:nopity:

Last night, the White House sent the press corps — which by agreement stays close to the president in order to report on any incident — back to Toronto, leaving the president 150 miles behind. In the wee hours of this morning, the crew of a dozen or so reporters and photographers in the press corps got back on a bus and returned to Muskoka for the day’s events.

Oh boy. Those guys real have their priorities all wrong.
Did they ever think that it might be good that Obama ditched them so that he could do some behind the scene diplomacy?

and I didn't think that was possible.

"offenses".

Maybe they'll report the truth once in awhile instead of making up shit to fan the flames. I hope Chuckles Todd is there and got ditched.

I can't imagine anyone else would be bothered to care.

So since they aren't doing nothing but looking for gotchas,
they might as well print their bullshit without accomodation.
I can't stand nary a one......

this goes on his permanent record since it's a 'significant offense'?

These people should just grow up. The Presidency is not a reality show.

:-)

:scared:

if they didn't get a photograph or something really important like that? (heavy sarcasm)

LOL. You're going to get a timeout Mr. President

EXACTLY my first thought.

:fistbump:

Stupid press whores..i mean, press corp.
