I wonder if it wouldn't be better if the Obama family moved out of Chicago..

I think they would be more comfortable in a setting with more land around it and not as insanely congested as Chicago/Hyde Park.

The family would have room to roam around a little, go for walks or jog and not feel like prisoners in their house. Also, I'm sure the Secret Service would greatly appreciate having them alone in one area as it would be easier to protect them, get them in and out, etc.

I heard a radio host discussing this today, especially regarding presidential entry and exit into the city which has always tied up expressway traffic for hours when Bush or Clinton visited.

Its just a thought. I'm a Chicagoan and born city person, too, and 'know it would be hard to leave the amenities but I just think a farm or whatever in McHenry County or some place would be a nice retreat and more comfortable place to go when they aren't at Camp David or in DC.
