Where was President Obama's whereabouts for 50 minutes?
Has anybody seen Ashley Dupre around D.C.?
From The American Thinker:
Reading the story about President Obama breaking tradition and ditching the presidential press pool over the weekend to watch one of his daughter's soccer games, it appears harmless, right?
Not so.
It is rather disturbing when you dissect it. So let's do just that.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, the press pool was to assemble at 11:30AM.
However, Time reported:
The president left the White House at approximately 9:20 to attend one of his daughter's soccer games at 40th and Chesapeake NW.
A pool was hastily called at around 9:35 and drove north at 9:43 to catch the president before the game ended.
We didn't make it.
The President returned to the White House at 10:17. The pool returned at 10:30. We now return you to your regularly scheduled pool call time.
Seems simple enough.
But the story has several problems. The first one is a biggie in that there were no scheduled soccer games for Sidwell Friends April 10, as evidenced here.
The second is that the area reported that the game was played at appears to be one of high crime, as documented here and here.
[Update: reliable reports from DC residents indicates the area is not high crime - ed.] Additionally, this is a picture of the field via Google Maps, where Obama went to watch the game. See above photo
Another problem is that when the press pool got close to the reported location, they were told that Obama was leaving and to turn around.
The press pool complied, but why?
Wouldn't they have wanted a photo of him, even leaving the event, to formally document his whereabouts?
What's also suspect is the very casual, nothing-to-see-here tone of the Time article.
Something is most definitely wrong.
