What did the president feel and when did he feel it?

The very old joke about what makes news is that when a dog bites a man, it's not news. But if a man bites a dog, that's news.

Here is the "dog bites man" earthquake story of the day. ABC News: Obama Golfing in Martha's Vineyard When Earthquake Hit. Sorry, that's not news. News would have been if Obama was not playing golf when the earthquake hit.

The President was playing golf at the time. Two reporters at the golf course felt the quake, another didn’t. A White House staffer who was there too, just told me he didn’t feel it either.

Immediate calls into the travel pool – reporters assigned to cover the president on a day-to-day basis – where Obama was playing golf, could not determine if the President was aware of the quake.

The president was seen taking a phone call, but it’s not clear if it was connected to the earthquake.

Waiting to hear what the President felt…and for the aftershocks.

Oh my gosh, I can't resist: What did the president feel and when did he feel it?

And will he return to Washington?
