Obama's attending the event was unannounced."

Then he shouldn't have needed a pool for reporters then....

"POTUS' final scheduled event was a 6:05 p.m. reception commemorating the enactment of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. When it was over, the in-town pool was asked to stick around. Only late in the night did the reason become clear."


That doesn't change the fact that the event was unannounced. If someone on his staff suggested to media types to stick around, that's not an official announcement. And the meida certainly weren't at Dover. It really bothers you that he didn't turn this into a big production so your cynicism can be stated. So sorry.
