By most accounts, Barack Obama was raised in a working class family and although he now has a comfortable life financially, he still prefers hanging out with his old friends from Chicago, or watching movies with his family, or going to a Basketball game. Many reporters have noted that he does not seem to enjoy attending fancy parties; he has to go to elegant state dinners as part of his official duties, but he does not seem to enjoy them as much as some other presidents have. That said, because he is the president, his lifestyle is much like a celebrity: he has a limo, a private airplane, a beautiful and historical mansion to live in, and the opportunity to travel the world while representing the United States. It is a far cry from the young boy who was raised by a single mom in Hawaii and who barely knew his biological father.
