Not a care in the world.

Via Mediaite:

A former resident of Somerville, Ma., called the hosts of Boston Public Radio as they interviewed outgoing Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick (D), ostensibly to complain about those loud college students at Tufts University.

“Uh, Governor, this is Barack Obama, formerly of Somerville,” the caller said. “I’ve got a few complaints about service in and around the neighborhood, but I’ve moved down south since that time.”

Initially, Gov. Patrick thought a “very good” impersonator had called, but then noticed Obama’s tell: “Mr. President, you know I love you, but you still have trouble saying Massachusetts.”

President Obama, who has been friends with Patrick since the early 90s’, praised his tenure as Governor — Patrick has decided to step down after two terms — and wished him a happy holidays, and the best of luck in whatever he decided to do next. (Full disclosure: I interned for Deval Patrick during his 2006 gubernatorial campaign. Go ahead, I’m a dirty commie liberal/conservative turncoat/whatever.)
