Obama eases into post-presidential life

President Obama is by all appearances enjoying his post-White House life.
In the 14 months since he stepped out of the Oval Office, Obama's moments in the spotlight have been few and far between. But when he has popped up, he has appeared more zen and carefree while sporting a seemingly ever-present smile in Donald Trump’s America.
“It’s obvious to most people who are watching that he is relieved to no longer be bearing the burden of the presidency,” said Josh Earnest, who served as Obama’s White House press secretary and had worked for him since the 2008 presidential campaign.
“I think there's no doubt that he is more relaxed and more at ease and more unburdened than he's been in a decade, and it shows.”
Obama definitely looked unburdened on a Saturday night last month after taking in Bruce Springsteen’s show on Broadway.
