The Week In Pool Reports

Martha Raddatz gets a wink and rain creates a wiper malfunction. And seriously poolers -- it is like you are not even trying for the funny. "Bush rebuffed a question by the gentlelady from ABC News, Ms. Raddatz, who asked if the president is willing to compromise. 'Nice try, Martha,' Bush said with a wink." -- Jackson, USA Today "Motorcade over the causeway to Key Biscayne took the president past pleasure boats, sunbathers, swimmers, some folks in yellow kayaks who paused to watch. The pool is now holding at a neighbor of the president's host, Ed Easton, who was described as a partner in the Easton Group. The community is Harbor Point, a collection of stately homes, palms, and gardens hidden behind walls. On the drive through Key Biscayne, crowds were sparse. A few blocks from the event, a woman waved two small U.S. flags. Across the street, a young boy -- perhaps 10 or 12 years old-gave the motorcade a two-thumbs-down greeting. He also offered this cultural/geographic detail: Andy Garcia lives in the neighborhood, and the movie Scarface was shot at a home down the street. And this marine biology detail: Dolphins have been sighted in bay." -- Jim Gerstenzang, Los Angeles Times "Rain played havoc with today's schedule. Your pinch-hitting pooler and company left White House at 5:54 a.m. via West Executive Avenue en route to Camp Meadow in what quickly became a downpour. At 6:17 a.m., Press Van #1 abruptly pulled over on I-495 as windshield wipers malfunctioned. " -- David Shepardson, Detroit News "Pool held for 7 minutes on Beltway, before decision was made to move everyone into single van, so 14 of us snuggly pulled away. Arrived Camp Meadow 7:20. White House announced Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wasn't taking helicopter, but instead motorcading to Camp David, which meant there was no arrival ceremony to cover -- to the consternation of Japanese newspapers waiting for photo before deadlines back home. POTUS helo'd to Frederick, Md. and motorcaded to Camp David, arriving at 9:13 a.m. We arrived through foggy 'Blair Witch' landscape around 10:20 a.m." -- Shepardson
