Former President Barack Obama has revealed what he doesnt miss about the presidency: the isolation.
You know the hardest thing about being the president of the United States, it is unique in its isolation, Obama told former White House chef Sam Kass during an interview in Milan, northern Italy.
The burdens of leadership are true in any country, but in part because of the security apparatus around a U.S. president, you live in whats called the bubble, Obama continued. It is a very nice prison. So you dont have the freedom of movement to be able to just take a walk, or to sit at a cafe, because theres always this security concern around you. I dont miss that.
