Vanity Fair article - Obama's Way

My political disposition is probably influencing my thoughts, but I believe this article simply shows how courageous, challenging, and overwhelming being the President of the United States is and how well President Obama is accomplishing it.

My favorite quote from the article: “There are some things about being president that I still have difficulty doing,” he said. “For example, faking emotion. Because I feel it is an insult to the people I’m dealing with. For me to feign outrage, for example, feels to me like I’m not taking the American people seriously. I’m absolutely positive that I’m serving the American people better if I’m maintaining my authenticity. And that’s an overused word. And these days people practice being authentic. But I’m at my best when I believe what I am saying.”
