We were just tired of being in the White House

I don't even mind this, the White House is a tiring environment. I'm just waiting for the media to jump on him for his "vacations" like they did for Bush whenever he stepped out of the White House. I'll be a douchebag and quote myself from a post from a month ago...

I don't envy anyone who takes the job of POTUS. Campaigns are fun. You get to talk to a lot of people. You get to give rousing oratory to adoring crowds. It's a race and a game and people like races and games. Especially when you win and they like you, they really really like you. Governing is difficult and boring. You sit in meetings all day and have to make difficult decisions you have to sell to the media and the public at large. You have negotiate with other self-interested people to get things done. You have to manage conflicts within your own staff and Administration. I certainly hope Obama is up for it.

Apparently he's found that out the hard way.
