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... ...The American source said: "Obama is overwhelmed. There is a zero sum tension between his ability to attend to the economic issues and his ability to be a proactive sculptor of the national security agenda.
"That was the gamble these guys made at the front end of this presidency and I think they're finding it a hard thing to do everything."

Really? I never would have guessed.
I’m sure our enemies are completely in the dark on his inability, too. /sarc
What till the $hit hits the fan on one foreign front...and there are many percolating. That’s when I’m afraid his inability to lead will coming shining through. Oboomba, the Great Delegator.
Wasn’t there a point during the campaign last year about “doing more than one thing at a time?”
Something to do with a debate?
UPDATE on Obama: “Presidents need to be able to do more than one thing at a time”

Hillary was right? Not ready to lead on day 1 (or day whatever today is).
So is he going to send Hillary over to negotiate with the Taliban?
This guy is just flopping like a fish now.
What a message to send to our enemies!!!
Our nation is leaderless and open to attack.
Sending her heinousness around the world begging for friendship is likely to show just how weak and vulnerable we truly are.
It's probably all those 3 A.M. phone calls he gets. /s
Awwwww didn’t his teleprompter come with a Evelyn Wood speed reading course ?
thanks, edzo4, got any more?
The community organizer has never had a real job in his whole life. He's been carried by the Saudis since the day he was born. He knew he wasn't qualified for the job, but his ego had to have it anyway.
Reap what you've sown, Oboma.
“concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.”
How many jokes have we heard from the left about Bush’s early bed time?
...Presidents are going to have to deal with more than one thing at a time,” he says. “It’s not necessary for us to think that we can do only one thing, and suspend everything else.”
In addition this green-horn wants to micromanage Rush. Ain’t gonna happen.
Maybe he should delegate more to us 300+ million out here in the heartland. We’re not as dumb as he thinks we are.
This is BS. They’ve spent the days since the Inauguration proposing or passing every liberal bill, and signing every liberal executive order, that they can possibly think of. It’s the public that’s been overwhelmed, not the clowns in the Administration.
A good time to take on a complete overhaul of health care, don't ya think?
LOL!! That’s great! Never saw it before.
You mean trying to change a capitalist society into a communist one in a matter of days is really hard to do?
I think it had something to do with chewing gum, and walking at the same time. Now that’s difficult to do if your a green-horn, experience deprived resident in the WH.
IIRC, his buddy Deval Patrick, the governor of Taxachusetts, “Mr. Gas Tax”, also pulled the same crap soon after being elected, but blamed his wife. These affirmative action empty suits have got to go. They have no idea what the “function is” and little understanding of the “form”. Wagyu beef and an American DVD collection for a head of state. Imbecile.
Boy, have you got that right! Homeless tent cities are staring to pop up.
I bet all those new Oboma voters are cursing the day they voted for him. They were deceived.
RESIGN!!!!!!!
What was to be expected from a fraud who hasn’t even got managing a lemonade stand on his resume’.
Perhaps he should step down if he is unable to cope with the extreme duty of being POTUS.
This is no excuse, especially in light of the fact he and Michelle party and flit around the country on Air force One campaigning and going on constant vacations.
This was a very big mistake electing this unqualified person as a leader.
“So is he going to send Hillary over to negotiate with the Taliban?”
Let’s hope they dont send her back in 2 pieces.
That same job was done by:
People who accomplished more in any one month of their lives than this guy has ever done (Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, etc)
A cripple in a wheelchair who waged a world war (FDR)
The mastermind of D-Day who was 62 when elected and solderied on despite a heart attack and a stroke while in office(Ike)
A couple of basically decent men who were slandered and defamed every day by a hate-filled media (Nixon and Dubya)
A man who was 69 when elected, who was shot soon after taking office (Reagan)
Whatever FDR did or didn’t do during the depression, stocks went UP after he took office.
Reagan had to fix the Carter debacle, and Nixon had to fix the JFK/LBJ mess-Vietnam, riots, etc.
And:
None of the above men-or the others have ever whined so much, and so soon about doing a job that they sought and that they assured the public they were the man for.
“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.”
Formal dinner? They couldn’t even bother to throw him a sandwich. No lunch for you!
It seems like President Bush had a very full plate from day one too--I don't remember his administration acting overwhelmed and using it as an excuse to treat foreign dignitaries in a less than traditional manner.
The American source said: "Obama is overwhelmed. There is a zero sum tension between his ability to attend to the economic issues and his ability to be a proactive sculptor of the national security agenda.
Problem: No money in America
Solution: Spend like crazy
Problem: No time for Obama to scratch his butt
Solution: Take a vacation
Oh yeah, and I wonder how the British feel to see Michelle Obama feeding White House leftovers by her own hands to homeless people, but couldn’t be bothered to organize a lunch for a visiting dignitary?
UNQUALIFIED ON ALL FRONTS.
In four years Obama is going to look like Grady from Sanford and Son.
Talk about classless. The DVD's were just plain tacky. It's something a 12 year old would give. Really! STAR WARS????
Joey "Plugs" Biden was right about some sort of crisis coming in the first 6 months...just thought it would be a bit more challenging than a DVD collection.
Way too much.
Argh, she’s never right. She’s an embarrassment too. Doesn’t have the intelligence to get a russian word interpreted correctly by russian interoreters before passing a gift to a russian official. (Which I am sure ‘would’ have been better than 25CDVD’s).
Where’s Condi when ya need her?
Quite frankly, I think McAmnesty and Palin would have been too. There was no real good choice for a strong economic president after the primaries.
The first "black" (wink wink) president of the US and he's headed for the looney bin's rubber room, and after just a few weeks of jiving?
I have faith in the military. They won’t abandon us like the administration.
Peter Principle Personified.......................
The Pres_ _ ent cannot vote “present” as he did when he was in the IL state senate.
“Presidentin bees to hard fo da bro”.
That was funny ~~
:)
At least 56 million are dumb as rocks. They voted for this jerk.....
