President Barack Obama says he's a night owl.

Obama tells C-SPAN in an interview airing Saturday that after he's had dinner with his family and tucked his daughters into bed, he typically stays up until midnight going through a big stack of material he's taken into the White House residence.

He says he sometimes pushes the big stack aside to do some writing and focus on some of the issues "that are coming down the pike" — rather than immediate issues.

He is most likely the laziest, incompetent, arrogant President we have ever had. I doubt if he has worked a 40-hour week this whole time.

Big stack of materials? He probably reads the Koran.

Tee! Hee! I was wondering when we would see these stories.

And Uncle Joe Stalin kept an unused office high up in the Kremlin lit late into the wee hours with the curtains open so that passing Muscovites could look up in the distance and say that Stalin was working late on their behalf.

While he was actually out at his dacha drinking himself blind and forcing his cronies to do the same.

A bit early to be smelling the flop-sweat.

strange phone. looks like he is speaking into the wrong end of the phone. Does it matter? he doesn’t need to listen to anyone because he knows everything and whoever is at the other side of that phone line has already heard all of Obama’s schtick.

Nightowl? Working on play dough or his Nintendo?

I agree.
This is BS!

Obama has never done any heavy lifting ever in his life.

Absolutely spot on! He’s the biggest nonentity ever to occupy the White House and yes, I know about James Buchanan & Franklin Pierce. Apparently he and his sycophantic followers equate the adulation he gets from mediocre morons with actual achievement. A Harvard education means nothing!

So?

HE'S the one who chose Biden!
