When President leaves office, either in January or in 4 years, you know Obama will never be this classy:
Former President George W. Bush has kept a relatively low profile in the
United States since leaving office. But in Africa this week he is
publicly promoting his institute's initiative to prevent and treat
cervical cancer. While Bush is following a familiar post-presidential
path in supporting humanitarian causes, he would prefer to focus on
quiet service, to lead through example and hard work.
He worked alongside other volunteers in Kabwe - Zambia's second-largest
city - to renovate a health clinic which specializes in the early
detection and treatment of cervical cancer.
“You're always the former president but I wanted to come here as a
laborer...I do want to say that on this particular trip that myself and
friends have left behind a clinic and hope to inspire others to come and
refurbish clinics as well,” Bush said....
“I hope you don't see much of it because I don't want to be in the
news. In other words, I believe that quiet service is the best kind of
service,” he said.
In Zambia, Bush and his wife Laura also visited an orphanage where many
of the children were born with HIV. The children are alive today
because of President Bush's 2003 AIDS initiative in Africa that provided
billions of dollars for retroviral drugs and treatment. It is an
emotional tour full of hugs and picture taking.

When Obama leaves office, he will be constantly in the news, saying "look at me,me me". While most politicians are somewhat narcissistic, Obama takes it to a new level unheard in the world of politics. His campaign theme song should be this:
Sunrise — 6:57.
