The guy is such an amateur. The press pool is there to i form the people of every public moment of a president. Let's remember Dallas in '63, and Washington DC in 1981, capturing the assasination attempt aganst Reagan, let alone Clinton's running for fitness that ended up at burger joints.
The press pool does a valuable job 7/24 to inform the nation. When Obama plays golf, they sit across the street from Andrews at a Burger King. They obviously would like to be elsewhere.
