Sawyer: Obama Still Working When W Would Be In Bed

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

One good clean 20 min meeting with the right people addressing the right question is worth more than 500 Bill Clinton all night pizza and cigar ‘work’ parties or 1000 Obama ‘how can stack the deck for 2012’ meetings.

Meetings - where the minutes are taken, and the hours are lost.

BFD, I start my day at the gym at 6:00, get on a train to NYC, then subway which door to door is about 1 1/2 hours and get home anytime between 7-9:00. I then have to go to the grocery store and come home and cook dinner. So all in all I don’t feel sorry for Barry.

So, what time does he have the martinis?

Being in IT, I've pulled my fair share of late nights and all-nighters. Also two-nighters, all weekenders, and a few all-weekers.

Anyone that thinks they're at their best at 10pm, after working a 12 or 14 hour day, is an idiot. It's one thing to work ridiculous hours if you need to, quite another to do it as a matter of course. As America's CinC, he needs to get some sleep.

Surprised that the Secret Service doesn't push this, at least on the down-low.

[RandallFlagg]

Yup.

Up late.

Screwing the taxpayers.

[Gene Eric]

I hope he gets enough rest and is working with a clear mind. We don’t need stupid mistakes for the lack of downtime.

It’s idiotic to praise a workaholic simply for the hours committed to the day.

We need to hire some N.Y. private detectives to sniff out all the mucho dirt on these dirt bags at ABC. And they had better be filing AND paying ALL their due taxes! ! !

[SampleMan]

So he’s not just a moron, but a tired moron. Still clean and articulate though.

Obama is still trying to figure out how to swivel his desk chair and open the drawers on the desk. He is up till 10:00 pm every night because he is making little pastie notes of where the entrances and exits are. He has broken a few windows by walking through them in the first week.

HEADLINE should read....."OBAMA barely out of bed at time when President Bush was up and already at the Office"

[Nervous Tick]

A lot of snorting around here about that... His office day, by the way, ends at 10 PM.

So they admit it! I figured ol' Bammy-boy was still hittin' that Nose Candy...

[Dean Wormer]

I hope so, the less “work” 0 does, the more money the rest of us will get to keep!

[freekitty]

Oh Geez, another Bill Clinton.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Up late. Screwing the taxpayers.

Yeah. Or, maybe, himself.

I’ll bet there’s no naughty website filter on HIS gubmint ‘puter.

If you know what I mean.

[VastRWCon]

His office day, by the way, ends at 10 PM

Do you blame him, he's just waiting his time until Michelle goes to bed at 10PM.

[Merlinator]

I’m sure that W got done triple the work in much less time than the usurper. Obama gets into the office st 9AM? What a slacker.

[agere_contra]

pain of knowing that at 2:00pm, he could get the little tap to wake him

If the President is asleep at 2pm, then we do have a problem :0)

[BerryDingle]

Wait till the honeymoon is over, 9AM will quickly turn into 11 or 12, with a dry Bubba track suit on in the Oval office to begin the day.

[listenhillary]

He will be deep in REM sleep when that 3:00am call comes in.

W’ would have had 6 hours sleep.

Diane - Do you need a wet vac for the slobber?

[N. Theknow]

Yeah, for all they know he is playing Solitaire or Nintendo DS in his office till 10 pm.

He's posting on DU as The Kumbaya Kid.
