Yes, You Are!

Barack Obama's offhand approach to Gordon Brown's Washington visit last week came about because the president has facing exhaustion over America's economic crisis and is unable to focus on foreign affairs, the Sunday Telegraph has been told.
Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been "overwhelmed" by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.
British officials, meanwhile, admit that the White House and US State Department staff were utterly bemused by complaints that the Prime Minister should have been granted full-blown press conference and a formal dinner, as has been customary. They concede that Obama aides seemed unfamiliar with the expectations that surround a major visit by a British prime minister.
But Washington figures with access to Mr Obama's inner circle explained the slight by saying that those high up in the administration have had little time to deal with international matters, let alone the diplomatic niceties of the special relationship.
Allies of Mr Obama say his weary appearance in the Oval Office with Mr Brown illustrates the strain he is now under, and the president's surprise at the sheer volume of business that crosses his desk.
A well-connected Washington figure, who is close to members of Mr Obama's inner circle, expressed concern that Mr Obama had failed so far to "even fake an interest in foreign policy".
A British official conceded that the furore surrounding the apparent snub to Mr Brown had come as a shock to the White House. "I think it's right to say that their focus is elsewhere, on domestic affairs. A number of our US interlocutors said they couldn't quite understand the British concerns and didn't get what that was all about."

I’ve thought all along this clown is just a front man for his white extreme leftist puppeteers.
****Holy carp****
I’m going to adopt this expression, and will remember that it originated here discussing The One. It will stand with many other immortal phrases that began on the internet.
But not tired enough for Wednesday parties?
Yes, You Are!
Time to appoint a Czar of Tucking In and Bedtime Stories.
The man has never worked a day in his life.
“He’s only 48 years old!! These people are in way over their heads, already!!”
He’s too young to use that excuse. We are all sitting out here in the boonies having our retirement funds decimated are in much more pressure and, at four score and more in age, hope I never fail to show hospitality to anyone who comes to my door in friendship..
President Bush had faith and character.
0 has neither.
So America, WE TOLD YOU SO.......
How do you like eating hope and change so far?
It’s a LIE, he’s just a EFFIN MORON!
Soon most folks that supported the commie SOB will start admitting it, and lame azz excuses like these only help.
BTW, too tired sounds like an excuse a gay man would use, I’m just saying. So he COULD be telling the truth.
Mussolini might try not throwing so many lavish million dollar parties at night, on the taxpayer expense. He might try to focus on his job, instead of spending his time on an enemies list. He might even take time out of his busy day to even try a little thing those of us in the private sector call, work. I know it is an ugly four letter word to people in governmet, but it is what it is.
then again, I want this fascist to fail, so what the heck, coke it up every night, moron.
If this were Bush, they’d say he was back on the sauce, intellectually incurious, or both. They would, however, not DARE to utter any criticism of the man leading us into Great Depression #2/s
What bull! 0bammay is out partying with Earth Wind and Fire and out politicking to pass mega-pork stimulus bills
I’ve been hoping that Obama would suffer a mental/emotional/physical breakdown that could not be concealed, and would force him to resign. Could this actually happen? Please, please, please.

Good grief. Was there a single named source in this entire article? Wonder what kind of credibility this forum would lend this tabloid publication if they were bashing Palin.
Every Wednesday night is Conga Line Dance Party Night!!!
And every Friday night is Date Night with Michelle.
So stop the partying and get to WORK!
And if that's too much --- resign.
He’s just a ‘suit’. A token. A puppet.
No ‘there’ there.
Big noise-no action.
Les incompetant!
Thank God for Free Republic and thanks so much for posting this story. It’s interesting to see how the Brits are giving us the real story illuminating Obama’s gross incompetency. Members of this forum are not surprised by any of this, we saw it coming. When, if ever will America wake up?
