Reports indicate that shortly after President Obama got out of bedawoke on Friday, he was overcome by a wave of wistfulness which prevented him from any undertaking save besides the reexamination of mementos preserved from his childhood. he became so wistfulinsome at the sight of the thick rain falling around the White House that he didn\u2019t feel like doing anything except going through the mementoes he&#8217;d saved from his childhood. Sources speculate that this tide of Presidential nostalgia wistfulnesswas at least partly driven by ausedat least it had something to do with thethe morning wash of drizzle and fog surrounding the White House that morning. \u201cIt was very unlike him. Barack irry iss usually so get-up-and-go in the mornings,\u201d said First Lady Michelle Obama. &#8220;But when I woke up, I saw him just staring out the window sipping a cup of tea. He must have stood there for fifteen minutes without saying anything.\u201d Obama thenwent on to ask two agents on his Secret Service detail iwhetherf they could &#8220;get the old chest&#8220; down from its place in the White House attic, where the chest is stored. After the agents set the chestit down in Obama&#8217;shis bedroom, the Presidenthe asked that everyone but Mrs. Obama to leave the room, and closed the door. OnlookerSources reported thatsay the chest iwas made ofconstructed from aa very handsome polished oak, weathered through d by age and the love of generations. \u201cThe first thing he pulled out was an old, faded Hawaiian shirt,&#8221; Mrs. Obama told The Dealer.. &#8220;He said, &#8216;W \u2018when I was seven, this was my favorite shirt in the entire world.
