Being President sure is hard.
Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been overwhelmed by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.
Unfortunately for us, this is President Husseins first actual job. No wonder hes so stressed and sleep-deprived. Perhaps hes spent too much time building that frame for Henrietta Hughes new house.
But Washington figures with access to Mr Obamas inner circle explained the slight by saying that those high up in the administration have had little time to deal with international matters, let alone the diplomatic niceties of the special relationship.
Allies of Mr Obama say his weary appearance in the Oval Office with Mr Brown illustrates the strain he is now under, and the presidents surprise at the sheer volume of business that crosses his desk.
A well-connected Washington figure, who is close to members of Mr Obamas inner circle, expressed concern that Mr Obama had failed so far to even fake an interest in foreign policy.
He shouldnt have to fake an interest in foreign policy. Its simple: raise the white flag, help radical islam do away with Israel and capitulate to any foreign invaders who may have designs on the destruction of the West. There, and you didnt even have to pay me.
The American source said: Obama is overwhelmed. There is a zero sum tension between his ability to attend to the economic issues and his ability to be a proactive sculptor of the national security agenda.
That was the gamble these guys made at the front end of this presidency and I think theyre finding it a hard thing to do everything.
I guess this is a little tougher than his old job of Community Agitator. Amateur hour is far too kind a description, Cramer.
Great. Now he realizes he's in over his head and totally incompetent and unqualified for the job. Thousands of people have been trying to tell him that for nigh on a year. If the man had an ounce of integrity, he'd resign. You can't do this job, Hussein! You're not cut out for it.
