"Living in a bubble.."

The thing President Obama dislikes most about being president is the fact he has no personal space or privacy.

Every-time he goes for a walk there are secret service people all around him, if he walks in a residential neighborhood they block off the neighborhood.

Imagine not being able to take  a quiet walk on the beach with your wife, girlfriend or dog without a major entourage and making sure the beach is blocked from the normal activities.

The president when asked what he misses most about civilian life, he answered, "just being able to take a walk in open space."

In contrast a familiarity to many of us living in a small town atmosphere. Every-time we go to the supermarket, post office or take a leisurely stroll we run into people we know and the common courtesy is to make small talk and talk story. Many times we just want to be anonymous but can't. I totally understand the presidents dilemma, however living in a bubble sounds better than running into acquaintances who just don't shut up!
