Obama and the Bubble

Politico is reporting that Barack Obama sure doesn't like the attention he is getting as the president-elect.

Obama bristles as the bubble closes in

... the president-elect appears increasingly conscious of the confines of his new position, bristling at the routine demands of press coverage and beginning to chafe at boundaries that are only going to get smaller.
...
All presidents and would-be presidents struggle with “the bubble” – the security detail and the always-there reporters that impose barriers to any spontaneous interaction with the outside world.

But Obama seems to be struggling particularly hard, particularly early.

Lovely. "We" have elected a private guy who appears testy when he's watched - which presidents are constantly - and when he is asked any specific question that deals with something that he either doesn't want to answer or doesn't know.

Unless he has a major attitude adjustment this isn't going to go well.

Two things come to mind: 1) He should have thought about the lack of privacy before he sought the job. 2) Surely members of the press had this one spotted months ago. Why are they just now getting around to letting us know? It's important, don'tcha think? I'm not saying the man's unfit for duty, but it may not be the job he's most suited for.
