Talk about going from worst president ever to first president ever to cry about the "downsides."
"I just miss - I miss being anonymous," he said at the meeting in the White House. "I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk."

This guy is one of the most well traveled presidents we've had, and he feels restricted in his freedom to move?!? What a disingenuous piece of work. Who runs for president with concern about losing their "anonymity?" Especially this guy.
They would've literally eaten W alive if he pulled a stunt like taking a trip to Brazil the day after we invaded Iraq, but Obama gets fluff pieces like this in order to humanize him in a way that they never afford Republicans.
I know this all sounds REALLY insensitive, but remember the scorekeeping the media kept on how many times Bush decided he wanted to work at his ranch in Crawford, and they ruthlessly made him look like President Vacation?
More tee times, higher deficits, faster debt stacking, higher rates of administration turnover, more blaming, worse response to gulf coast crises, he's more like a citizen of the world, and now vacationing...does Obama have to outdo Bush in everything?
I don't want to be too discouraging about all of this, so I came up with one of those "remotivational" posters to help lift the president's spirits and put things in perspective...
“squeezing the fruit”
Larry Sinclair was there?
;)
Seems like Obama and the press skewered BP boss Tony Hayward for saying just about the same thing.
I miss MY money!
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Hey Butthead, don’t run in 2012. Next problem.
Too bad, nobama. Detainees in Leavenworth never get anonymity.
Did you see that “faggoty” picture of bammy in his little girl jeans that was posted on Drudge ?..
The difference is that Obama works so much harder and is on top of every crisis better than Tony Hayward.
This guy does not want to be re-elected. I think that is quite obvious and thank God for it. Less work for Repubs. And it makes me suspect all the more he is hiding something which Trump is really starting to aggravate which brought out this statement. That statement from his wife last year was also was no fluke. She does hate it. Good, begone. Play act until it is time. He’s never going to resign but he also will not work to be re-elected. I mean seriously, what could this dude possibly say or use as a campaign slogan? “Time for change....uh, if you give me another chance”
More than happy to oblige Bammy. Lose in ‘12 (better yet, don’t run at all), and then I’ll forget you were ever born (or where you were born).
Lemme see . . a slogan . . . .
“I Want a Do-Over!”
“Change and Hope!”
“Hit the Reset Button!”
“BUSH’S FAULT!!”
“Four More Years!”
“Are You Better Off Today Than You Were Four Years Ago?! - YES YOU ARE!!!”
Any more suggestions for a slogan . . . .?
” ... squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can’t take a walk.”
(I can’t loiter around rest rooms.)
