(83,637 posts)Washington - The bear is loose!
Those were President Barack Obamas words as he ditched his motorcade last week Wednesday, and left the White House on foot, favoring the fresh air in a walk toward the Interior Department.
Tourists near the White House never expected to see the president in person on a steamy spring afternoon. One woman squealed with delight; another suggested she thought Wednesdays sighting might be an Obama impostor.
Since taking office, Obama has grumbled periodically about the claustrophobia that sets in when his every move is surrounded by intense security. That makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the simple pleasures that others take for granted.
Its good to be out, Obama said.

(81,098 posts)I like looking at all those faces - they're so happy, excited, thrilled, jubilant. Haters? Where? All I see are happy people, delighted and pleasantly surprised to see him up close like that, taking pictures, presenting their kids and their babies, reaching out to shake his hand, all that stuff. All GOOD stuff. Makes me happy just to look (and maybe just a wee bit jealous that I'm not in that crowd, too)!

Should be very interesting-- can't wait.
I wonder what he'll do once he leaves office (ouch)-- teach? Do you know? Has he hinted? The world's his oyster!!
