President Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket. 'I just miss – I miss being unknown,' he said. '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.' His dream, he said, was to 'go through Central Park and watch folks passing by ... spend the day watching people – I miss that'. Faced with criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting relaxed. ' It 's the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours,' he told Hearst magazines. Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House, he felt disillusioned(醒悟的,幻想的) with the some of the ways of Washington, which he has failed to change, such as the 'kabuki dance(日本歌舞)' among political parties before serious policy discussions begin.
