– Obama On The “Sacrifice” Of “No Vacations” In His Own Words (ZeroHedge, Aug 11, 2014):
“You give me this office, and in turn, my fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, vacations, leisure is gone. I am giving myself to you. The American people should have no patience for whatever is going through your head because you have a job to do. You don’t make that decision unless you are prepared to make that sacrifice, that tradeoff. Those who make mistakes in the president’s office make them because they haven’t fully thought through the dimensions of that choice.”
– Barack Hussein Obama
