President Obama's retreat with Senate Democrats this afternoon was closed to the press, which isn't surprising in and of itself. Pooler Ken Herman of Cox Newspapers sees it in a slightly different light. Lamenting the newspaper industry and skewering Obama in one quick stroke, Herman wins today's Poolitzer Prize.
The pool report, edited only for clarity, follows.
POTUS visits shrine to once-great industryMotorcade rolled from White House at 1:38 p.m. en route to Newseum for POTUS meeting with Senate Democrats who were retreating. Arrived at Newseum at 1:43 p.m.
Pool was ushered to hold. The event - though at a facility honoring the First Amendment and the people's right to know stuff - was closed press. Go figure.
Motorcade rolled from Newseum at 2:46 p.m., with White House arrival at 2:49 p.m.
Any further details about the event, if made available, will come from White House Press Office.

I am sure they gathered to discuss a lot of things, hope they will tell us what they discussed on their meeting. My husband told me they should do something with the increasing rate of small companies that go bankrupt, there are

It was inside the yr 1910, that the person in the brand of salvatore ferragamo shoes started to exercise the craft of shoe producing and leather-based craft in his residence online community of Naples Italy. while an amazing offer of of todays best designers can boast in the time which they invested in prestigious pattern schools, this tiny known, unassuming craftsman could do none of that.

Maybe the pool reporter does not understand that the "retreat" was not a public event; the Democrats rented the newseum. Maybe he needs to understand English. If he wants everything that happens at the Newseum to be open to the press, have his media organization foot the bill.
