I was watching the all-star game out of the corner of my eye, and they were interviewing our Senator from Illinois come President. Something he said really caught my ear.
"[Being in St. Louis] is the closest I've been to home in a while."
It kinda gave me a new perspective on the job he has to do. Always working, always on the move. For us. The man can't even be in a place where he can feel at home most of the time. He is just a man after all, comforted by the same things you or I are comforted by. There's nothing like the feeling of being in your own bed, surrounded by walls that are so familar.
I think about my life, and how much I would miss the people and places around my town if I had to stay away. Now, I know he's the President and he can take a vacation pretty much anytime he wants. But he doesn't. For us.
