Microphone Picks Up Private Conversation Between Obama and British Leader

ABC Political Punch ^ | 07/26/08 | Jake Tapper & Sunlen Miller

Cameron told Obama. "You need a break. Well, you need to be able to keep your head together."

Oh. Like what my tagline says?

[Artemis Webb]

Two thoughts on the conversation:

1. Obama at least has some inkling of understanding the art of delegation of responsibility. Which puts him one rung up on Jimmy Carter.

2. Obama cannot complete an unscripted sentence. This may be one of those rare occasions when debates make a difference.

Nothing concerning Oblahblah is coincidence.
This was staged to give Oblahblah an excuse
for his adlib gaffs and his glaring lack of
intelligence.

Public education is a waste of a good mind.

If these blogger’s minds match their writing skills,
I pray they won’t find their way to the polling places.

And promised the British leader we would perfect ourselves over the next 8-10 years under his leadership.

You people keep making fun of the 10 years for the presidency. You people are so clueless. I'll bet you are the same ones that aren't aware of the 57 states in the U.S.

Study up!

Agreed.

The way things are these days you kind of have to question why anyone would want the job, considering what you have to go through to get it.

And ALWAYS make time (and new friends) for the Ritz Carlton gym.

I’m not sure anything this campaign does like this is not scripted. I believe the note he left at the wall in Israel that was published in the newspaper was meant to be published.

Some quality time (ie not 4:00 am) must be reserved for nothing except what you want to do or address. If you don’t, minions will insist on taking it for them selves.

Overall I agree about the importance of quality time. Spending every second of the day on issue after issue can certainly cause one to lose focus and will eventually contribute to mental fatigue. That said, it's naive for him to think he'll always have "big chunks of time during the day when all you're doing is thinking". He is assuming a luxury of time and schedule management that is not realistic or predictable. Crises will occur that will run for extended periods (which of course is all the more reason to manage your time and energy so you're able to handle these crisis management marathons when they inevitably occur).
