<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Both, Obama and Letterman say that once they&#8217;ve retired, they would like to disappear from the spot light, President Obama said, &#8220;It does feel good not to have to be on the stump&#8221;. The President spoke on behalf ;of his wife also saying that once he is no longer president, they&#8217;d like to  ;get involved with causes in a &#8220;different capacity&#8221; like climate change and helping disadvantaged youth as well as supporting military families. ;</span></div>

<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">On the topic of the Baltimore Riots, ;Letterman had asked the President whether racism is a factor in minority communities not trusting police and he said that the effects of slavery, discrimination and Jim Crow laws have definitely played a hand in that, but society has made some changes that he feels are steering the country ;in the right direction. ;</span></div>
