Again the real Osama shows his true colors. If he cant take the pressure now, he sure wont be able to handle the White House. But guess he can ban a few more reporters from his aircraft of interviews.
Obama has testy moment with the media
CHICAGO (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama got annoyed with the media Friday as he tried to walk down a Chicago street with his 7-year-old daughter, Sasha, who was dressed up in a shiny costume for Halloween.
A pool of national photographers, reporters and a video crew traveling with Obama quickly covered the spontaneous moment.
"All right guys, that's enough," said Obama, wearing a casual outfit and sunglasses in the early evening.
He and his daughter were walking right toward the media on a public street.
"You got a shot," he told the photographers. "Leave us alone. Come on, guys."
He told the media to get back on the bus, referring to the vehicle where the traveling press pool often waits for him.
Obama then crossed the street with Sasha. At least one video cameraman who was not part of Obama's traveling press corps followed him for a while. Obama grew visibly irritated.
He and his daughter then began jogging, and even running, to get away from the media.
They ended up out of sight at a friend's house, where they were headed all along.
In a final dash for the presidency, Obama stopped into Chicago specifically to spend some time on Halloween with his family, including his other daughter, Malia, who is 10. It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.George S. Patton

I applaud Obama for being a real person, suspending his candidacy for important family moments- his anniversary, time with his dying grandmother, taking his children out for halloween.

McCain probably doesn't get bothered by his naps (I am sure at his age, he needs one or two).

A poll is not a prediction. It is a snapshot of how people are thinking right now.

Bear, only you could turn this sweet story of a man taking his daughter out trick-or-treating into a criticism of Obama. Did he mow the photographers down with his SUV"? Did he curse them? He said, "c'mon guys, which sounds very gentlemanly to me. What kind of ogre are you?
