[b]Obama Breaks Protocol Leaving White House Without Press Corps[/b]
[quote=Fox News]President Barack Obama quietly breached years of protocol on Saturday morning by leaving the White House without the press with him.
About two hours before reporters were supposed to be in position to leave with the president, Obama left the grounds of the White House. Members of the press were told he was attending one of his daughter's soccer games in northwest Washington, D.C.
The White House press corps traditionally travels with the president anywhere he goes, inside and outside the country, to report on the president's activities for the benefit of informing the public and for historical record.
After Obama left, a press aide hastily gathered members of the media who happened to be at the White House early or working on other matters. They rushed to a van and left the White House to catch up with the president.
Too late. By the time, the press van appeared to arrive at the president's location, the press was told he was already departing. Time to go back to the White House.
Reporters and photographers didn't have a chance to see him or his vehicle to verify his presence at any location.
Although nobody outside the White House or the press may have noticed, Obama broke years of tradition.
The small press "pool" that accompanies the president had been told to gather at the White House at 11:30 a.m. He left about 9:20 a.m.
Asked what happened, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said: "The president decided this morning to attend his daughter's soccer game. The pool was assembled as soon as possible to be there as well."
Obama eventually left the White House again on Saturday for a round of golf. This time, the press was with him.[/quote]

I don't see the problem.
Cool. He shouldn't need the press on him 24/7. Fox is just looking for anything to bash him on.
I don't want a camera up his ass 24/7, he's the leader of one of the worlds most powerful countries, he doesn't need extra stress.
I'd rather not have a bunch of reporters following me to my daughter's soccer game.
Historical record? Sure, cos something super important's gonna happen at a football match.
Oh lord, this is terrible! The press needs to be sure that [b]every[/b] footstep he makes is recorded. If the American people aren't informed of his every move every second of every day, the people may begin to disregard the president and the end result could be [highlight]catastrophic[/highlight].
And to make matters worse, it was his daughter's soccer/football game! Diplomatic ties to countries where this sport is popular could have been very hurt by this incident.
Obama needs to be severely punished for this atrocity! :argh:
Who gives a shit.
I wouldn't want the Press following me around either.

It's called differently somewhere else, When you address it, You should call it by it's name.

Then your a idiot.
It's like going to your friends how and calling his dog, Fred, Because that's the name of your dog.
:foxnews: lol
I believe the big deal is because Obama is the President, he is an important figure who's whereabouts must be known about at all times. As long as Obama is acting president, the press will continue to surround him until he's out of office.
Stupid yes, but still important.
I'm sure that even Bush and Clinton had to put up with this.

No it's not, his dog would not be called Fred, mine wouldn't, however if i called "soccer" football, then that's perfectly ok as that's what everyone in my country does, and you're well within your rights to call football soccer. i don't mind, once again you silly Americans are just trying to bo right.
Glaber, you're at the point of making up news stories to smear Obama.

Oh snap
CULTURE FIGHT!
Breaking protocol?
This might be a problem if he were a machine. Machines must strictly adhere to their programmed rules. He is not a machine. He is a dude.
"Daughter's soccer match" is an anagram for "planning socialism secretly"
It's not actually
