HOME SWEET HOME
All President Obama wanted to do was go home. No, not to the fancy government house in Washington. He wanted the familiar bed in Chicago. The comfy chair. Maybe watch some ESPN. Chill.
"I am sleeping in my bed tonight," he told Chicagoans at a fundraiser Friday. "I'm going to go into my kitchen. I might cook something for myself, putter around in the backyard a little bit."
If you have a nice house with a mortgage between $500,000 and $1 million (according to his 2011 financial report), you might want to spend a night or two in there. He last slept in the house on April 2011, when he was in Chicago on a fundraising trip. He told donors Friday: "It's good to be home. The White House is nice, but I'm just leasing."
