Politicians sacrifice a lot to live in the White House, but once they get in, most are eager to find a way out of the bubble.

CBS News' senior White House correspondent Bill Plante was out in Washington, D.C., when he saw a big crowd coming towards him. The secret service was motioning the crowd aside, Plante said, as President Obama was walking outside with a cup of tea in hand.

Plante has covered five presidents, but he said he had never seen anything like this.

"I don't get a chance to take walks very often," President Obama said last month. "Secret Service gets a little stressed. But every once in a while I'm able to sneak off. I'm sort of like the circus bear that kind of breaks the chain."

The Bear is loose hahaha
