Obama may be a rare ex-president who stays in Washington [View all]

Throughout his time in office, President Obama has opened many outside-the-Beltway speeches with a suggestion that he, too, feels like an outsider in the nation’s baffling, frustrating capital city. He shouts to the audience about how good it is to be wherever he is that day — Cleveland, Miami, San Francisco. Then he takes pokes at the town where great success in his chosen profession has brought him.

“It is good to be out of Washington,” he often says — a line that, in good times and in bad, always generates warm, sympathetic applause.

Changing Washington may not have come off as Obama promised. But for the president and his supporters, the city has been an object of contempt they can believe in.

Now, though, Obama has raised the possibility that he might remain a resident of the capital after his lease on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. expires in January 2017.

In an interview this week with Barbara Walters of ABC News, Obama and the first lady, Michelle, said they may live in Washington beyond their time in the White House to allow their younger daughter, Sasha, to graduate from Sidwell Friends School.

Well it speaks volumes does it not, guess who will have a say, Sasha. They believe in her best interests. Their child.

The President according to the article could and would become a target of further abuse and hatred, yet they have Sasha's best interest at heart. Not at all surprising is it? Pause a moment, what does that say to you about this President. He has his child's best interest at heart despite what it will mean to him. It is the same way he has taken this Country forward. No matter what the hate and abuse he receives he moves on. He takes us forward every damn day!

Thank you President Obama.
