Slipping the MSM...how did they manage to pull that off?
Pretty funny! A bunch of press people stuck on an Obama plane with no Obama? A hoard of them hanging around Hillary's house, peaking through the windows, I'll bet. I loved it! Good for them! :rofl:

1. I'm sure we'll hear more about it today.
Did you see the footage on Obama's plane about 15 minutes ago on CNN? The reporters looked a bit peeved at the slip, and the smile/smirk on Obama's press rep was priceless. :P

Pulled something similar when he went to Edwards' house.

3. Me thinks the day of lapdog M$M are OVER
What WILL they do with no one pandering and coddling them??


Can't help but think that if the shoe waa on the other foot and it was HRC who won and was going to meet the person who lost, she would have the whole media in a caravan behind her going to where ever she was supposed to meet the loser.


I won't be home to watch TV today so I will have to catch up on the former lapdogs' reactions tonight on how they were dumped!

4. Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool as well - a double slip

Not only did they give them the slip at the airport. They were all camped outside Hillary's house speculating on whether Obama was there, or arriving, or just departed, etc.

Meanwhile, everyone was over at DiFi's house where they could relax and not be under the glare of the cameras. Pretty cool.

5. Let me see if I have this straight.....

The Bush Administration managed to take the US to war based on lies given to this group of 'investigative journalists' and you're surprised that two individuals (either of whom, individually, has a greater intellect than the entire neo con crowd combined) managed to hide from them?

Thing is, they had the wrong group of reporters following Senators Clinton and Obama. The TRUE investigative journalists of today work for the infotainment circus. Had 'The Enquirer' taken a couple of reporters of Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton and sent them after either of these individuals, and the Senators had managed to evade them, THEN I would be impressed. But, the 'established hard core journalists'? Nah. Until Bush/Cheney hand feeds them the information they want printed, no surprise if these 'journalists' can't find their own ass with a GPS much less someone else.

6. It's pretty easy. They herd journalists onto Air Force Two, and then they have them.
All the journalists traveling with Obama have to get on his airplane before it takes off. They check their luggage, get sniffed by dogs, and get seated on the plane. Like a regular flight, you're stuck on the plane then. The journalists have their section and the candidate has his section.

You can't just get off. You're on until they let you off.

Here, the Obama people simply sucked the journalists into getting on the plane, while Obama headed back to DC for the meeting with Hillary.
