If you read the article, you will see that the President of the United States feels like he's in a bubble and is disconnected from the average American.

Too much security apparently means the President is disconnected with the pulse of America, and is drifting aside. He's essentially saying the security apparatus is making him ineffective. If I was in his shoes, and I was willing to send 18 years old men and women to combat in Afghanistan to face the Taliban, I would also take on a certain amount of personal risk to insure I was leading the country in the right direction.

Aides say his Blackberry is a way to escape that confinement.[/quote]
