Seriously, is your inability to actually address the topic of the thread due to laziness, stupidity, or both?

You may want to take your own advice. They surely didn't make it clear and apparent to all, as they have done with other events.
The book clearly states that the press pool was there during a trick-or-treat event preceding this party, but not necessarily present to make known the after event.
"White House officials were so nervous about how a splashy, Hollywoodesque party would look to jobless Americans -- or their representatives in Congress, who would soon vote on health care -- that the event was not discussed publicly, and Burton and Depp's contributions went unacknowledged."
The event, so over the top that "Star Wars" creator George Lucas loaned out the original Chewbacca costume from the legendary film for an unknown participant to wear, was covered by a front event for the press in which the first couple handed out candy to trick or treaters. The president did not don a costume to that event, but first lady Michelle Obama wore a leopard-print sweater, cat ears and sparkly eye makeup.
