“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 the interview.
“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 what’s called ‘the bubble,’” Obama continued. “It is a very nice prison. So you don’t have the freedom of movement to be able to just take a walk, or to sit at a cafe, because there’s always this security concern around you. I don’t miss that.”
Obama spoke with Kass after giving the keynote speech at The Global Food Innovation Summit on Tuesday.
The former president said he can walk anywhere now ― as long as he’s willing to take a selfie “every two steps.”
“Now I’m only captive to selfies, which is almost as bad,” Obama added.
