Washington, Mar.23 : President Barack Obama finds the job of commander in chief "exhilarating," adding that while he was reading more now, most of what he was reading consisted of briefing books.You know, you get a little time to read - history or, you know, policy books that are of interest. But there's a huge amount of information that has to be digested, especially right now. Because the complexities of Afghanistan are matched, maybe even dwarfed, by the complexities of the economic situation," the New York Times quoted him, as saying.

He also said that his family and he were adjusting to life in the White House, and added that his daughters, Malia and Sasha, enjoyed having friends over to try out their new swing set.
