London, Apr 12 (ANI): US President Barack Obama has revealed that he misses being anonymous, and doing things that he would normally do.
Obama, 49, made the comments during an interview with editors and publishers from Hearst Magazine.
“I just miss - I miss being anonymous,” the Daily Mail quoted Obama as saying.
“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,” he said.
Obama defended his love for golf, saying that it was the only excuse he had to get outside for four hours.
The president has been criticised before for over indulging in golf and has racked up more than 60 games since he took office in 2008 - far more than his predecessor George W Bush did during his entire presidency.
His critics also said he also played too much during the crisis into the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico which created America’s biggest environmental disaster. (ANI)
