Bummer! I guess Obama can’t vote “present” and “pass the buck” because “the buck stops here”.

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.

1st rate people surround themselves with 1st rate people. 2nd rate people surround themselves with 3rd rate people.

If he has capable people around him why would he be overwhelmed?

Every day we see more and more evidence that he is not up to the job.

BS----Obama has started a feud with England by returning the bust of Winston Churchill, who Obama detests for the heavy criticism that he penned about Muslims in North Africa. Obama seems to have taken Churchill's criticisms very personally.

So, when Brown arrived, along with typical state department gifts, Brown included a seven volume biography of Obama's favorite British politician, Winston Churchill. Obama must have been so angered that he didn't want to face Brown. Again, he took this gift as a personal insult. Obama probably thought Brown was endorising the Churchill opinions of North African Muslims.

Maybe he should go to bed at the same hour Bush did. The libs are still joking about him turning in early, and how their man can burn the midnight oil. We’ll see how long that will last.

With a caveat; if the citizen has or is receiving Govt’ assistance from State or Federal within the last four years, they are ineligible to vote.

A little executive experience might have been helpful, huh?

Less than two months on the job and already the empty phony is “tired and overwhelmed”. Just repeating hope and change over and over again does not qualify someone to be president. Hey, airhead, this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Nor surprising for someone who has no executive or command experience, no decision making experience, no delegation experience. Maybe someday people will understand the value of such experience and why a Senate position does not prepare you for an executive job...but probably not.

Is it hard work? I still recall the merciless drubbing W got for saying this. Obama expects and gets sympathy. Poor baby.

maybe IF ZERO spent less time sitting in the front row of a freaking Hollywood B Ball game and entertaining the Million Dollar B Ball Babies in The Oval office and spending all weekend at the State department Gym playin B Ball with his Chicago Thug Friends and throwing Ostentatious Wagyu Steak and Caviar Hollywood Caligula like Parties, he Just might have the time and Energy to attempt to play POTUS!! but ZERO will NEVER have the Brains. Ability or Intellect to be a real POTUS, one we respected and adored like George W.!!

We predict that the MSM will not make an honest comparison between the way that the One is handling the large problems at the outset of his rule compared to the way that George W. Bush handled the very large challenges at the outset of his presidency. Narcissist tyranny is difficult indeed when you’ve previously been able to use rhetorical skill to give the illusion that you are really for all sides of every issue.

Maybe because with Affirmative Action schooling and college, he never had to work hard?

What had he actually done before this that qualified him as global healer and messiah?

Why don't they just admit he has no idea what he is doing on economics and budgetary matters?

What seems to be happening is a struggle and conflict between Obama's emotional commitment to Nanny State socialism and the realities of the crashing economy. He's too emotionally committed to Big Government ideology to do the right things. Obama's interior struggle between the fantasy of Nanny State socialism and reality is crashing the economy now. The whole messiah fantasy is falling apart.
