US President Barack Obama ditched the press pool of the White House during the weekend as he slipped out to watch one of his daughters' soccer game without informing them.

The US President stated this during his meeting with Pakistan Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani.


"Apparently I caused quite a problem," Obama said, adding something about his secretary not telling the Secret Service. He suggested his pool-less trip did not please the news media. "They were very upset about it," he said. "It was big news today," he told Gilani.



The President has two daughters Malia and Shasha. It was not known which of his two daughters had the soccer game on Saturday.
