Obama to allow press coverage for "all movements"

By GottaLaff

The press got miffed when Obama faked them out the evening he met with Hillary at Dianne's house. But since then, he's agreed to what's called "protective pool" coverage. Smart move. I've dealt with the press myself, and it makes things a lot more pleasant when you cultivate them a little:

After requests from major news outlets and wire services, the Obama campaign has agreed to allow coverage for all movements of presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Hat tip to my colleagues who have led this fight for access. This small pool at all events, called a "protective pool," is similar to one that that follows the president no matter where he goes.

Hey, if he's going to be our next president, now is as good a time as any to be hounded like one.
