Because I know that I would want to leave the history-laden White House for a shack on the beach in Hawaii! (not!) They won't even spend their first Christmas at the White House. In fact, Obama seems to be AWAY from the White House as much as possible. He's there on a mission, and doesn't want to be distracted by the architecture or the history. Or the extreme privilege that he was afforded (and which he cavalierly scorns).

Perhaps he doesnt want to be in a target zone??? Perhaps he knows more than we would care to know?
