Put him to sleep.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Washington (AP) - After a sleepless, overnight flight to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this month, President Barack Obama made a not altogether surprising admission. He was tired.
Who could blame him? The president was on his ninth foreign trip to his 21st country; he added a 10th trip the following week. The year had been bookended by the two most intense periods of his young presidency -- the early decisions to bail out the nation's banks and automobile industry, steps the president deemed unpopular but necessary, and his December orders to deploy 30,000 additional U.S. troops to fight the war in Afghanistan.
Throw in an unemployment rate in the double-digits, a health care bill still stuck on Capitol Hill, and last-minute negotiations on a global climate change agreement, and aides say it's no secret that the president is tired, and looking forward to recharging during his year-end family vacation in Hawaii.
Obama himself has been candid about the pressures of being president during what he has called an "extraordinary year."
"You have a convergence of factors that have made this a difficult year not so much for me but for the American people," he said in an interview with CBS News last month. "Absolutely that weighs on me."
That weight was particularly striking during the president's exhaustive, three-month review of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan.

Who could blame him? Like most communists, He is a bumbling pompous imbecile a condition no doubt made worse due to his muslim background. He's also worried that the lid will be blown off his secret past.
Thanks to the one party system America once again finds herself screwed without any foreplay, or even a sloppy kiss.
Who indeed are the whores here? The parties or the clueless voters?
Not as tired as we are of him!
He’s tired? Well the rest of us are tired too...tired of his lies and incompetence.
And unlike him, we can’t just jet off to Hawaii for R&R.
Obama was even complaining during the campaign...about planes and hotels,etc. Obama is LAZY and he certainly doesn't give a damn about us.
He doesnt do any WORK!
He’s a slacker, and an unmitigated liar. MAybe he’s tired from running his fugly mouth so much.
55 gallon drum liner barfy bag...
If the duties and responsibilities of the office are proving to be too taxing for the _resident, I’m sure there are plenty of Americans who would most gladly accept his resignation!
Now that right there is just dang funny.
If this is taxing him too much he really needs to slow down.
Take a sabbatical - assist Ayers in writing another book - play with the kids...
Apparently this job of his is wearing him down
Take it Easier
:)
And when I say vacation, I mean it in a literal sense, not in the sense of a working vacation as what W used to do. 0bama really is out to lunch.
Put him to sleep.
HE’S tired?
How about the rest of us, who feel like we have to be awake 24/7 to see what shitty thing he’s doing to this country in case we fall asleep????
I, for one, am exhausted.
The AP doesn’t even realize what a ridiculous story this is.
All Americans with a functioning brain (Congress by and large excluded) fall into fitful sleep every night. A look at statistics, no doubt, will reveal more heart attacks and higher blood pressures amongst those who truly care about the evil that is Washington, DC.
LOL. I was tired too after I started my first real job.
I believe that any one on this thread is capable of doing a great job of steering this nation in the RIGHT direction. The key would be to select staff capable of running the store.
He just wanted the perqs!
If George W. Bush
