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.
British officials, meanwhile, admit that the White House and US State Department staff were utterly bemused by complaints that the Prime Minister should have been granted full-blown press conference and a formal dinner, as has been customary. They concede that Obama aides seemed unfamiliar with the expectations that surround a major visit by a British prime minister... ...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 they're finding it a hard thing to do everything."

Argh, she’s never right. She’s an embarrassment too. Doesn’t have the intelligence to get a russian word interpreted correctly by russian interoreters before passing a gift to a russian official. (Which I am sure ‘would’ have been better than 25CDVD’s).
Where’s Condi when ya need her?
Quite frankly, I think McAmnesty and Palin would have been too. There was no real good choice for a strong economic president after the primaries.
The first "black" (wink wink) president of the US and he's headed for the looney bin's rubber room, and after just a few weeks of jiving?
I have faith in the military. They won’t abandon us like the administration.
Peter Principle Personified.......................
The Pres_ _ ent cannot vote “present” as he did when he was in the IL state senate.
“Presidentin bees to hard fo da bro”.
That was funny ~~
:)
At least 56 million are dumb as rocks. They voted for this jerk.....
“Obama is “trying to do too much”.”
“Way too much.”
They are trying to shove as much as they can down our throats before the Sheeple, and most especially, THE LIB MEDIA catches on to what it’s going to cost THEM....
By the time the sheeple catch up, it will already be too late to stop any of it.

“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.”
Remember this quote if you’re still alive when one or more of our cities is blown to ashes.
RESIGN!!!!!!! .......yeah, so we can have Joe Biden as POTUS!.....................
He will be a one termer no matter what. He doesn’t have the stomach to do 8 years. I think he and Hillary cut a deal for her to run again and take over in 2012. (’scuse me while I make tinfoil hat adjestments)
Exactly the sentiment I expressed to FrogDad when I read the headline - "Let's tell the terrorists that we have our pants around our ankles!"
Never too late..............
Hopefully writing her memoirs, drinking heavily, and telling stories about the "glory days" ... never to be in government again.
