I started covering the newly-elected president in 2000, when I was in my late 30s. Back then, as a reporter for The Washington Times, we went everywhere the president went. If he went to Charlotte, North Carolina, to give a 30-minute speech on an airport tarmac, we went. Up at 4 a.m., an hourlong commute to Andrews Air Force Base, in place on the ground hours before POTUS landed, and there for hours and hours after he left sometimes right through the evening news so network reporters could file live from the site.
We also went with the president to Texas every summer often for a month and every winter, too, over the holidays.
