Let's say you're on vacation at a sea life park with your two daughters.
It's an unfair comparison, I know. You're not the President-elect, and you don't have an increasingly paparazzi-like media waving the flag of American democracy to justify its repeated attempts at violating the privacy of your young daughters. Just suspend your disbelief. Despite this, everyone's been walking around, so you offer the crowd a round of shaved ice.
Bad move, you see. First it was Beergate. Now it's shaved ice snowcones.
After the park visit, the Obama group was joined by the press pool — which arrived at the park about an hour after the Obamas but was not allowed in — as they stopped for a sandwich and shaved ice. The reporters refused an offer from Obama to buy them some shaved ice.
