Obama Stops By The Post

From a pool report (note the sarcasm by a jealous NYT reporter, Helene Cooper):

After three and a half hours at his transition office, PEOTUS obama took another 6 minute ride through washington, arriving at 157 pm at the nondescript soviet-style building at 15th and L street that houses the washington post.

Around 100 people–Post reporters perhaps?–awaited PEOTUS’s arrival, cheering and bobbing their coffee cups.

Pool is holding in a van outside, while Mr obama does his washington post interview, and will exercise enormous restraint by ending report before saying what really thinks about this turn of events.

What is Cooper mad about? That the Washington Post, and not the New York Times (yet) has scored an Obama interview.
