Pool spray pre-bilateral between Obama and Wen is a mess
The Chinese press corps shoved their way into the small room where POTUS and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao were about to meet, preventing most of the American press pool from entering.
Robert Gibbs said something to the effect of "my people" (meaning American press corps) have to get into the room, "or we're leaving." A few American media were able to get in, but your pooler and other non-broadcast reporters could not get in.
