'A steady stream of people' ...

[Drunken Irishman]

In the Reuters world, a few people constitutes a steady stream.

1. It was a bald face lie made by a professional liar.

Even people who don't like the potus don't just leave like that unless they'd planned to leave early anyway.

The author is an idiot.

2. Appears that way,

but early tweet to the contrary. https://twitter.com/jeffmason1/status/523947258895532032/photo/1

Maybe editing changed the story? AP had some less than reliable reporters. I hadn't noticed the same at Reuters.

3. I saw that. With the added "It's been a while" snark one can see the bias.

It's kind of hard to report an fully fabricated story, so I don't doubt that a handful of people filed out.

The question and the lie is in the conclusion drawn, the reasons suggested by the article.

People might leave for any number of reasons, this author had no idea but decided to create a reason for our consumption.

Typical, right?

4. Typical of media that wants to 'sell papers,'

unfortunately, and this one surely has done that. Pissing off a bunch of Marylanders at least! PoTUS was 36 miles from me!!!

5. From the Baltimore Sun:

Pesident Barack Obama sought to rally support for Anthony G. Brown's gubernatorial campaign at an event in Prince George's County on Sunday, telling an enthusiastic crowd that the lieutenant governor is offering a better vision for the middle class than his Republican opponent.
