Obama… On Life Before The White House

President Obama was asked by Israeli TV what he missed most about life before becoming president:

“Taking walks. There is a value to anonymity in terms of just being able to wander around, sit on a park bench, take your kids to get ice cream without having Secret Service and helicopters over you. That part of this life I’ll never get used to. In fact, I remember when I first visited Jerusalem, I could wander through the Old City and haggle for some gifts to bring back to Michelle, or stand at the Wailing Wall, and people didn’t know who I was. And that is a profound pleasure that is very hard to experience now.”

    I have been a democrat for nearly 30 years now and I have to say, this is the most embarrassing times I have ever seen! I am utterly ashamed of what or party has become and I am so regretful that I voted for Barack! I really thought he was going to bring change. Well,… I sure have seen change! I have been unemployed now for going on 3 months, house has been in foreclosure for 5 months and for the first time in my life….I AM PRAYING FOR THE tea party movement to succeed!!! I can nit believe I just said that. We have got to get Obama out of the White House and restore some dignity and honesty to our party and our country.
