WE FEEL HIS PAIN – AT 10:58 P.M. ET:  So much so that we're willing to do something about it.  President Obama is complaining about the loss of anonymity that comes with the presidency.  Apparently, no one told him about this, and it isn't in the federal job description.  Herewith:

The president said he loves his life in the White House but doesn't enjoy some of the ways of Washington, such as the "kabuki dance" among political partisans before serious policy discussions begin. He also regrets his loss of personal privacy.

"I just miss - I miss being anonymous," he said at the meeting in the White House. "I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk."

COMMENT:  I say, sympathize with him, and let's work to make him anonymous once more.  Let it never be said that we aren't concerned here about personal feelings.

I want this man to sqeeze fruit again.  Is that so much to ask?
