Yes, he has said he did enjoy it, although at times, he found it frustrating. Barack Obama came to the US senate hopeful of being able to bring both sides together on issues (which was his reputation during three terms in the Illinois state senate). But the Republicans still controlled congress in 2004, and there was often congressional gridlock, and a lack of bipartisanship. Senator Obama had committed himself to a career in politics by that time, and was determined to work with Republicans. Sometimes, he was able to do so, and forged some strong friendships, especially with Senator Chuck Hagel. But at other times, he was unable to make any progress. That said, he has told reporters that he did find being a US senator an amazing opportunity.

Why did Barack Obama and Michelle Obama want to have kids?

President Obama has said it always bothered him that his biological father played no role in his life and had no interest in him. He wanted to have kids so he could be a good father and do what he felt his father had not done. Michelle Obama grew up in a loving home and seems to have always been in favor of having a family once she met the right person. By most accounts, she and Barack have a very close relationship and enjoy being parents.
