I don't think that he is concerned about local disruption, so why should I be concerned about his issues with the press? Just my 2 cents.

Did you ask him?

I think the quick rush to judge his profile persons is that they could care less about the "little guy." In many cases this could not be further from the truth. Having worked around many high profile families I will say that while some could careless about whether your traffic congestion grows while they are in town, the vast majority go through a lot of hoops, at their own expense to prevent such issues. While the fact remains that this visit has caused minor disruptions in daily life - the international spotlight on this TOURIST DRIVE place will undoubtedly do wonders - especially if the French Prez returns home with thumbs up reviews for Wolfeboro!

Regardless - I think he had every right to do what he did to the media jokers yesterday - good for him for exercising his right to express himself and to defend his privacy - and yes - just because he is high profile does not exempt him from private moments.

It was inevitable - for sure - the papa's were bound to cause a stir - but lets remember - it was the press/media who caused the stir and not the president!

Just my two cents.
