WASHINGTON - President Obama sounds like he'd punch the "easy" button if he could.
In a prime-time news conference Wednesday night marking the 100th day of his administration, Obama betrayed a sense of exasperation at the swarm of crises that have besieged him and the country.
"I didn't anticipate the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," Obama said. "The typical President, I think, has two or three big problems. We've got seven or eight."
Marveling at the lineup of daunting tasks filling his in-box, he took umbrage at the idea he relishes expanding government, even into cars and finance.

Presidentin shore is hard.
“President Obama sounds like he’d punch the “easy” button if he could.”

The crux of the matter is that his entire affirmative action, Ivy League, career-politician life has been based on the Easy Button.
Nope. Giving GM to the UAW and stiffing legal bondholders is hard work. Setting up car warranties is hard work. Giving us instructions to wash our hands to avoid the flu is hard work. Poor baby.
above his pay grade
That's what comes from never having been told no.
Other Presidents probably had more, they just didn't go around crying about them. President Bush had huge burdens as president, but he kept them where they belonged--in the White House.
BTW: Nah, nah...Barry is a whiny butt.
Well, 5 or 6 of those are of his own doing.
Then he should stop causing them.
An arsonist doesn't set as many fires as he does.
“I didn’t anticipate the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression,” Obama said. “The typical President, I think, has two or three big problems. We’ve got seven or eight.”
Well, first of all you spent two years campaigning on the idea that the country was going to the dogs. Second of all, you definitely have your hands full taking over the country with your domestic agenda while other presidents has it easy with 9/11, Pearl Harbor, the Civil War, and a whole host of other major crises. I’m sure all the other “distractions” just sat back and bided their time for those other presidents while heaping all at once on you.
No, Mr. President. You asked for the job, you had your minions do everything it could, legally and illegally, to get you this job. If you don’t like it, quit. Please.
awwwwwww poor witto bambi....maybe he needs a vacation...oh wait there ain’t no vacation from being President.....maybe if he had held a real job he would have built up some stamina instead of believing all that silly pablum all those ditzy women around him fed him for those coupla years......his gramma, his democrat lady friends....on bamib you are sooooo brilliant.....oh bambi you read off such a great speech...oh bambi you look soooo sharp i n that sport jacket...
I'm indifferent as to whether he finds it "fun" or "entertaining." His intention is to insert the government. What about "this is a problem that requires a government solution."? He's a one-trick pony. Gotta problem? The government is here to help.
He really should feel lucky considering he does not have the MSM criticizing his every move like they did to Bush started 2 minutes after the planes hit the World Trade Towers.
As far as I’m concerned this guy is getting a huge pass...so far....let’s hope now that the much vaunted “100 Days” are over the media will start pouring it on.
NOW THE A**WIPE CAN'T DO THE JOB......screw him
"Sh@t!! I know sh@t's bad right now, with all that starving bullsh@t, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings....."
Two wars to run? They are actually the same war in different theaters of operation, i.e., the War on Terror, but it is no longer politically correct to say that.
Whiner....... grow a spine and a man bag, Mr. President....what did you think you would be doing when you moved into the Oval Office? Geez, I’d hate to see you faced with something really stressful, like Pearl Harbor, 9/11, or Katrina. You might even CRY during that press conference.
BTW, the men who were our Commander in Chief during those crises exhibited steel resolve, grace under pressure, and led with strength and diginity and a positive attitude. Statesmen. You, my friend, are a lump of cotton candy if you can’t deal with 4 lice-infested pirates and a flu outbreak.
If you don’t like the job, Barry, then quit.
