It would appear that there’s a newbie in the White House press pool.
Cox Radio reporter Jamie Dupree posted on social media an observation made by a member of the press covering President Barack Obama that someone flipped off the presidential motorcade:

Other than indicating that Sunday was a slow news day, a quick scan of social media shows there wasn’t anything newsworthy about the observation — aside from a member of the press actually mentioning it:

MT: “@BostonNewsMan: Obama motorcade just past through #Newton #Fox25 pic.twitter.com/wqcF113Nbn” / check out the limo driver flipping the bird!

WH pooler spots someone giving motorcade the middle finger tonight in NYC. Says unclear whether twas for Obama, traffic or something else.

But a photo snapped in 2012 of a man greeting a sharp-looking presidential bus, dubbed Ground Force One, beats all contenders:
The reaction to Dupree’s tweet showed the man had a few kindred spirits out there… here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
@jamiedupree @FLMENFORTRUMP the guy in the red truck just spoke for millions of US??…..not that I would ever flip the bird ?
