It wasn't because the President is black, for chrissakes.

Do we even know it was press people? It might have been administration people or a janitor or anybody else.

Yeah, Obama was a little irritated, but do you think that might have something to do with the cat-herding he is having to do with McConnell and Boehner?

Seriously, everybody should chill, especially Obama. Everything is better for him when he goes "over the cliff". He really needs to stop being so bought into avoiding that.
