The Associated Press Investigates Obama

Obamas take a walk, holding hands in the evening

WASHINGTON — The first couple took full advantage of the cool spring night.
After a date night out on Saturday evening, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama decided to take a stroll when their motorcade arrived back at the White House.
So they began walking on the driveway of the White House South Lawn while holding hands. First they passed the West Wing, then their children’s swing set. They kept walking, swinging their hands together.


I don't know why the media has such a bad name. I mean this is the hard hitting type of story that Americans need to know. I honestly could care less why the White House spent over $300,000 to send New Yorkers screaming through the streets just to get a photo. I want to make sure that this guy is enchanted. This story leaves me wanting more. Where were they going?

As the Obamas walked behind shrubbery and out of sight, the unscripted moment left reporters guessing where they were going. To the vegetable garden? The basketball court? No final word, but they eventually came back the same way from where they started, rounding out their 8-minute walk.

This story should put to rest the rumors that the White House was planning to use the press corps in order to pressure Chrysler investors. As we can see with this hard hitting story, the press corps isn't going to simply lay down for the Obamas. They are going to continue to probe and get to the bottom of the most pressing issues facing Americans, like whether or not Michelle and Barack were heading to the basketball court or the vegetable garden. Americans have a right to know!

Note- the story in bold is not sarcasm. It's an actual article. Yes, really. No I swear...I'm telling you the truth. Just click on the link.
