Well goodness, what did he think was going to happen? Though, personally, I could really do without seeing any of our presidents minus their shirts.
Yes, but... I can totally understand a guy wanting to take his kids on an outing without the paparazzi. It sounds as though he realizes it's inevitable, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas! ♥ Hugs :) Shauna
