CHICAGO -- 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.
It was so spontaneous that I knew about it yesterday morning when the press reported that Obama would be stopping in Illinois to go trick-or-treating with his daughter.
Those pressies had better be careful or they'll find themselves banned from the Good Ship Obama just like the guys from the Dallas Morning News, New York Post, and Washington Times.
With any luck in a few days nobody in the press will care what Obama does with his daughters.
