For that or some other reason, as President Obama spoke to reporters inside the White House Thursday following a meeting with credit card company executives, Summers was photographed clearly asleep at the end of a table in the Roosevelt Room.

Here's a link to a gallery that has some of these images.

Why do they have an (R) after his name? I thought he worked previously for Clinton? SO shouldn’t it be a (D)? At this gallery - in every photo that comments on him there is an (R) after his name??

Like my father used to say when my mother caught him napping...”I’m not sleeping. I’m just resting my eyes.”
