Oops! Obama's press office has an e-mail snafu
The White House Press Office accidentally e-mailed a draft version of President Obama's Thursday schedule on Wednesday night that included the back-and-forth between White House staffers.
The e-mail, sent on a daily basis to inform the media of the next day's events, at first appeared to be like any other press schedule. But at the bottom of the e-mail, there was a series of exchanges from the press team, as well as a draft of the schedule.
The first section of the schedule noted that in the morning, Obama planned to talk with homeowners who have refinanced their homes and benefited from lower mortgage payments.
One staffer, recommending changes to that line, wrote to "put more emphasis on the real people aspect of this."
The draft version said Obama will talk "with his economic team," and also attending the meeting "will be a handful of households." The final version took the emphasis off the economic team and said "Attending the meeting will be a handful of homeowners ... as well as members of President Obama's economic team."
The draft schedule also showed the president hosting Seder to celebrate Passover. The dinner was marked "closed press," meaning no reporters allowed.
One staffer asked, "Can we remove the dinner at the end of the day?"

Why would the Media post this? It was an accident that it was released. It is a lack of respect to our Country, The President, and the People of America. Our Media does more damage to our Country than aid in our Country getting back where we use to be. They just do not care. It seems like if they think it will hurt our President they put it out there. Other Countries show better love for our President than our own Media. You are just to negative. Did you ever think who lives would be affected by this before you released it. God please bless America.
