How nice is Barack Obama when there’s no camera around? Reblog

My brother runs a hotel and bar in the Caribbean on a fairly remote island. And not long after he stepped down from the Presidency, Barack Obama was on holiday in the area, and one afternoon he ‘stopped in’ (with secret service entourage).

My brother said he was just a pretty chilled and relaxed cat. Drank his beer from the bottle and sat on plastic chairs like anyone else. Very happy to take selfies with staff and chat amiably with whomever. And then he went back to his kite surfing or whatever. Seems like a pretty ordinary and pleasant American Dad out on holiday – he just also happened to be famous.
