President Obama Wishes He Had Spent More Time With His Mom

Every time the question gets ask, I always expect the president to say that his biggest regret was being President of the United States. I mean, who could blame him?

Since Barack Obama became president, he has had to put up with the most vile, the most racists, and the most disrespect any other president has ever had to deal with in recent memory. But yet, the man finds a way to push on.

So yes, when that question is ask I always expect him to say the presidency was his biggest regret. But he never answers the way I expect him to.

While visiting with students at a town hall at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, the question was once again asked, ‘what is your biggest regret?’

The leader of the free world, the man who arguably is the most powerful man in the world, said that not spending more time with his mom was his biggest regret.

“I realized that there was a stretch of time from when I was, let’s say 20 until I was 30 where I was so busy with my own life that I didn’t always reach out and communicate with her and ask her how she was doing and tell her about things,” Obama said. “You know, I was nice and I’d call and I’d write once in a while, but this goes to what I was saying earlier about what you remember in the end, I think, is the people you love.”

Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, passed away in 1995 from uterine cancerPresident Obama: ‘I regret not having spent more time with my mother’ living arrow 10×10, just weeks before her 53rd birthday. Four months earlier, Obama had published Dreams from My Father; a year later, he won his first election, the Illinois state Senate seat.
