obama is giving us exactly what he told us we would get. Socialism. I’m sure he sleeps well.

He would have to be troubled in the first place to lose sleep. He seriously doesn’t care about any of it, so rest comes easy.

I have wondered about this for years, about all presidents.

... King David was surrounded by the armies led by his own son -- who wanted to kill him -- and he was able to sleep quite well. His mind was focused on the right place.

Psalm3 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

I can assure that while deployed our Service-members are able to sleep rather soundly. I for one was so tired from the daily rigors I slept very well. There are exceptions such as those who are at a remote site and pull shifts on guard etc....

Plus Val Jarrett handles everything for him; he doesn’t have to worry about anything.

You don’t have to be a president to not sleep well. Presidents are just guys who got hired to do a job. Some of them did it better than others.

In a general sense, not referring to this guy in particular, your mind will get used to the issues. You get used to making decisions and living with them.

At one point in my career I had a merger disaster on my hands for about three months. About six weeks into this merger the technology issues and customer issues were so bad I had people walking out the door. We were putting out fires all day, every day. I was getting grief from the board room, the front line, and all of the supporting groups. It was if all of us were trying to change tires on a race car while we were moving around the track.

Our call center, which had been designed to handle 13,000,000 calls a month through our computer system (which worked very well before the merger) failed for weeks because of problems with the computer system. For about five weeks all 13,000,000 flowed to call center agents who were staffed for 700,000 calls per month. Wait times were in the 45 range. Can you imagine the hell that was?

I found if I exercised for 30 minutes, I slept like a baby.

I know call centers are not global thermonuclear war, but I would bet that I had fewer people handling my support than the President did. And I have to believe that most of his support staff (the real worker bees) know what they are doing.

If he’s in the same room as Mooche, he sleeps with one eye open.

How does a President sleep? Lying down with his eyes closed (I assume).,
I suspect hanging from his feet upside down in the corner from the rafters..but that's just me.

In the case of our current one, it helps to not give a damn.

Obama is asleep all the time. Dreams nightmares (how to destroy America) and then implements.
