Why do most people hate me?
“Sometimes people ask me, how do you keep up with everything involved in this job of yours, which is kind of a crazy job?” Obama said. “There’s a lot of stuff, and it’s all pretty complicated, and nobody is ever entirely happy with any decision that you make, and your hair is a lot grayer than it used to be.”
The president said his days start with great promise, but by the time they end, he looks at his to-do list and feels overwhelmed.
At the nadir of his presidency, with his approval ratings at their lowest point and his prospects for meaningful legislation poor, Obama has reflected on the difficulties of being president and waxed nostalgic for a time when his life was less burdensome.
Obama sounded defensive at times, trying to explain the litany of problems his administration has faced this year, including the botched launch of online health insurance exchanges.
“Maybe I had a chance to do something important, too,” Obama said.
