After Quote by Ezekiel Emanuel

“The assumption should be that we will not appear in print or the blogosphere. Having dinner should not be fodder for Facebook. And this is just as true for 'public personalities' as it is for the average person. After all, even people in the public eye have a right to a private life.” quote by Ezekiel Emanuel
