Obama's Fantasy: 'Put on a Disguise, Wear a Fake Mustache and I Can Wander Through Tel Aviv and Go to a Bar'

President Obama revealed a fantasy of his in an interview with an Israeli television station.

“Sometimes I have this fantasy that I can put on a disguise, wear a fake mustache and I can wander through Tel Aviv and go to a bar and have a conversation,” Obama told Israel's Channel 2, according to ABC.

He added, “I’d love to sit at a cafe and just hang out.”

Obama, of course, has constant security around him.

“The last time I was there as a senator, I still had the option of wandering through the Old City of Jerusalem. That option becomes much trickier once you’re actually president. ... 

“You can’t just slip out and interact with people without having a bunch of guys with machine guns with you,” he added.

The two basic ethics rules are (a) the “inward” revolving door ban found in President Obama’s executive order imposing ethics obligations on his administration’s appointees and (b) the conflict of interest rules found in codes of professional conduct defining lawyers’ duties to clients.
