O's Barber Shop has become a "tourist mecca" so now he has to get haircuts in private.

Sign of the times: Barack Obama now receives private haircuts. He had to move his barber into a friend's apartment building because the shop had become a "tourist mecca," the pool report stated. "If the president can’t go to his barber, the answer is to bring the barber to him. So, to avoid any security concerns, Obama’s barber is wielding the scissors at (the) apartment."

2. Who is this guy? I think that's Obama's point. He is trying to be considerate

of the people around him who don't necessarily want to get swept up in his celebrity. Some of us are very private people, and simply don't care for the intrusion of an overeager media. If Obama can keep the identity of some of his close friends & confidantes a secret...more power to him.
