WASHINGTON – After a sleepless, overnight flight to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this month, President Barack Obama made a not altogether surprising admission. He was tired.
Who could blame him? The president was on his ninth foreign trip to his 21st country; he added a 10th trip the following week. The year had been bookended by the two most intense periods of his young presidency — the early decisions to bail out the nation's banks and automobile industry, steps the president deemed unpopular but necessary, and his December orders to deploy 30,000 additional U.S. troops to fight the war in Afghanistan.
Throw in an unemployment rate in the double-digits, a health care bill still stuck on Capitol Hill, and last-minute negotiations on a global climate change agreement, and aides say it's no secret that the president is tired, and looking forward to recharging during his year-end family vacation in Hawaii.
Not that the commander in chief really thinks he can escape his duties, even on an island. Amid golf, tennis, gym workouts and dinner, Obama has been called on to monitor the airliner attack in Detroit last Friday and what appeared to be another attack on Sunday — that incident turned out to be a false alarm. On Monday, Obama worked out in the morning and played tennis before making his first public remarks on airline security, then hit the golf course.

He’s actually tired from all the walking on the golf course
RESIGN. WEAKLING.
RESIGN. WEAKLING.
Meeting with adoring crowds and playing golf can do a person in. Also, denying reality really takes a toll out of one.
I would get tired of destroying just a small country. So I can understand why Obama is so tired after spending 11 months trying to destroy the USA.
His first real job.
Worst...President....Ever.
Even James Buchanan laughs at him.
Must be rough having to wean yourself away from smoke and blow at the same time.
I doubt anyone would mind if he quit. In fact he’s done so little we might not even notice.
Just more evidence that the entire administration is out of its league and the positions they hold are far more than they can handle.
Aww gee, You brought that stuff on yourself!
Somebody who’s not used to actually having to work, gets worn out easily when the slightest thing must be done.
I think the unemployed would change places with him in a heartbeat.
Well, we’re TIRED of him too...so he should just step down while it’s still voluntary....
Girly men tire easily.
Suck it up—Act like a man- even if you have to fake it- kinda like your patriotism.
