President Barack Obama’s right-hand man Reggie Love is walking out.
The former Duke basketball player who has been rolling with the President since his days in the Senate, announced earlier this month that he is leaving the White House to study at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.

In an interview with ABC News, Reggie sounded off on many of the things that ticked him off about the President saying:
“The thing that used to kill me is that Obama loves to ride around with the AC off in the summertime,… And I get hot. I start sweating. And I’m like, it’s 80 degrees in this car. I’m going to pass out.”
The two have an amazing brother-like relationship and Reggie has gotten a lot of praise from the President, who said:
“His ability to juggle so many responsibilities with so little sleep has been an inspiration to watch.
As Obama’s personal assistant Reggie made sure he had everything available for the President from dental floss to copies of his speech.”

Some of Reggie’s other responsibilities included being the President’s iPod, making sure he’s up to date on the latest music, which is why Obama calls him his ‘iReggie.’
Reggie also taught Obama how to fist-pump and the musical styling of Jay-Z and Nas. On stepping down from his position as Obama’s bodyman Reggie said:
“I’ve learned so much about life from him. I’ve spent most of my adult life working for him, so it’s going to be a challenge to leave.”
Good luck to Reggie and his future endeavors. Being the President’s right hand man for so long surely wasn’t an easy task.
