You've been president of the United States for 8 years, you can't do a thing without a million photographers following you, everything you say is scrutinized for deeper meaning, and there are plenty of people who'd like to kill you.

And then you're not president anymore.

The door of the helicopter closes and it's just you and your spouse.

You turn to her and say........ " xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ."
