Champ regrets not spending more time with his mum.
2014-04-28
Sort of begs the obvious question now doesn't it ?
His mother sent him off to live with her parents in Hawaii, while she kept his half-siblings. It is said she did this because he loved and was influenced by his Indonesian stepfather. Possibly he regrets it now, in a vague, sentimental kind of way, but I imagine that for many years he was content treating her as she'd done him.

#5  Perhaps the toughest question for the president was what he hopes his legacy will be. In a rambling 9-minute answer, Obama cited a range of factors.

Nine minutes is not an answer, it's a speech.

He said his "most important" legacy is fathering daughters Malia and Sasha, whom he said are "turning out to be wonderful young people."

Oh, that's nice.

As for his presidential legacy, Obama spoke more broadly, noting his response to the financial crisis of 2009; promotion of greater economic opportunity for all people; curbing Syria's chemical weapons; confronting Iran; encouraging peace between Israelis and Palestinians; and, being the first American president to visit Burma. He didn't mention the Affordable Care Act.

Perhaps he was the first AMPrez to visit Burma. Other than that, it's just a speech.

#2  Does he regret not showing up at Aunt Zetuni's funeral? I have my doubts.

#1  Old Frank did the best he could, but the kid was more interested in dagga than politics. His socialist enlightenment was to blossom a bit later.
