Pressure? That's probably why he has developed a chronic facial tic.

I've reached a state I never thought I'd feel – pity for Barack Obama.
Yes, really. Now that the challenge and competition and excitement of the campaign is over, reality is hitting and the poor guy is probably having a hissy fit. Imagine the weight of responsibility for the well-being of 300 million people on your shoulders. It's not a position I'd want. And perhaps it's not a position he accurately anticipated. In other words, I suspect he's finding out that being president may not be all it's cracked up to be. Too late now.
I expect my pity for Obama will fade into loathing as soon as he gets his socialistic and inexperienced hands on the reins of government.

The pressure on Obama is coming from all fronts. The efforts to get him to cough up a legal, verifiable, official birth certificate must be annoying enough. Who cares about Clause 5 of the 2nd Article of the Constitution requiring him to be a natural born citizen of the United States? For crying out loud, why can't these people just take his word for it? How dare so many millions demand that elusive document? Yet this is an issue that could have staggering consequences.

Finally, Obama is now in the difficult position of needing to specify exactly what "changes" he will implement. The trouble with change is that it is frequently unrealistic on a national scale (not always, but most of the time). Obama is probably realizing the mantra of "change" that swept him into office is a two-edged sword.

A tremendous assumption here is that he cares, or that his definition of caring may call for putting the nation through enormous difficulties to reach his "vision".
We’ve elected the “What me worry” Mad Magazine poster boy, only now he’s clearly worried and clearly w/o a clue.
He’s got “House Negro” Powell (Not my words - but Harry Belafonte’s) and Hillary to help him out, I think he should feel sorry for the American people.
Add “Oh, s***, I s****** the pooch on that BC thing.
Must take a vacation and fast!
Might have to produce some sort of legal looking document.
Oh, my goodness, that’s a LOL moment.
Thanks Canedawg, I needed that.
I would further guess that Obama will see his role as "President of the World" and will spend a huge amount of time running away from the mess in Washington visiting foreign nations in Africa and the Middle East.

It’s as good a time as any to start the old tired mantra from the left, “Worst president in history!”
I’ve said this all along. The Left used Ø to get back in power. Plain and simple.
He’s nothing but a talking head.
No. No pity for Hussein.
He and his wife deserve everything coming to them.
The well being of 300 million? This guy couldn’t care less. This is all about POWER. Only those truly caring about America feel the burden; this is an opportunity to party and flaunt...and possibly have an intern hanging on an appendage while he’s on the phone during a ‘crisis’. No, plumber joe and the rest of us are going to suffer through the disgrace that this man will be bringing. Just read about his ‘vacation’.......does this sound like someone who cares...? Off to Hawaii and flaunting his future position by renting multi-million dollar homes on the beach (with retractable glass windows, doors whatever). It’s disgusting and just WHOSE dollar is paying for this elaborate vacation. It’s worse than the Roman emperors. Vacation........from what? IT’S ALL SHOW...
Unveiling President-elect Barack Obama as her "Most Fascinating Person of 2008," Barbara Walters wrapped up her Thursday night prime time special by championing how Obama "has redeemed the American promise that an individual can make his own destiny and create a new world." (Obama hasn't even taken office, yet he's already managed to "create a new world"?) She then presumptuously gushed: "We are all members of that new world now..." MRC
Create a new world. Wow, just wow.
Oh, and Babawa Wawa told Rush several times that Governor Palin seemed “uninformed” on the pop quizzes that “Charlie” and “Katie” hurled at her in a projectile fashion. Of course, all they asked Obama was the “boxer or briefs” sort of questions because evidently they were afraid he would be “uninformed” on any substantive issues and they had to seem “unprejudiced” and implement affirmative action.
What Babawa Wawa and her ilk did was to grease the way for a totally inexperienced, totally “uninformed” phony to be elected. Any effort of render her and her “colleagues” totally irrelevant and immaterial is of utmost importance if this country is to survive at all.. and it may be too late anyway. Turn off the BOOB TUBE when any of the snobby elite “journalists” are on it.
Hilarious!
Twitch on big promises, no substance guy. I don’t feel one bit sorry or sympathetic. The first, worst black president all in one.
We’re all waiting for the train wreck to arrive.
he can always resign if he doesn’t like the job
I predict by his second year in office he’ll be praying for a bullet, and towards the end of his term they’ll have to lock up the sharps and household chemicals.
Obama, he's not worried.
