Obama is tired
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.
Not that the commander in chief really thinks he can escape his duties,even on an island. Amid golf,tennis,gym workouts and dinner,Obama has been called on to monitor the airliner attack in Detroit last Friday and what appeared to be another attack on Sunday — that incident turned out to be a false alarm. On Monday,Obama worked out in the morning and played tennis before making his first public remarks on airline security,then hit the golf course.
Awwwwwwww,my heart bleeds for Obama.
So are we. Time for change. 2010 is just around the corner
I AGREE OBAMA NEEDS TO GIVE IT A REST. I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT HIS RESIGNATION. IN FACT LET ME BE AMONG THE FIRST TO CALL FOR IT.
Maybe he should stay here and do some real work,but he is to busy partying. Oh wait we wouldn't want that he might ruin the country faster then he already is.
How much longer are we going to put up with this "FAKE"? He has done more harm than good with HIS CHANGE!! We can't afford much more of the "OBAMANATION"and his cohorts in Congress. It is time for a thorough "housecleaning"!
Maybe he needs another liason in the back seat of a limo or seedy motel and let Larry Sinclair haul his ashes….That might perk him up…
