Obama can’t just sit around can he. He’s always on the go somewhere. Always trying to maximize all the Presidential perks while he still has them. Kind of like the guy that checks into a hotel, steals all the linens, empties the ice machine, turns the tv and radio to full volume, takes a 1 hour shower, steals the toilet paper and kleenix, and calls the front desk and complains that the air conditioner is too noisy and wants to change to another room. That’s Obama.
He can't confront being in the White House. He's repelled by the awesome and pervading sense of real American history and character the place emanates. It repels him because he hates this country with a passion.
