The president broke "protocol" today by acting all mavericky and going to his daughter's soccer game without the sycophantic press core swinging from his nuts.  Do you think this is not news?  I do.  Evidently breaking a "protocol" for dealing with the press, will be made into news.... by the press. 

"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."

Yeah, his daughter's soccer game will be of interest to the public record.  Thanks for all your help preventing the Iraq war and rolling over like a dog on its back during the Bush years White house press corps.  Now you get some backbone and express outrage over Obama's grevious breach of a traditon that you guys made up.  The white house press corps sounds more like whining paparazzi in suits than actual reporters... How about growing a pair and asking some tough questions like Helen Thomas instead of following Obama like TMZ, and whining when he gets away for a second.
