#1 The "reset button" and the "too tired" incident are both very difficult to fathom as there are plenty of people in Washington that could/should have prevented both snubs. But the only other alternative is that the President intended these snubs and that is certainly far more difficult and frightening to fathom.

#4 Methinks that since BO has never held a regular job, he probably doesn't have the stamina to work a twelve hour shift on four hours sleep.

He has a nine to five mentality with an eight hours of sleep personality and those don't work with being the POTUS.

#5 How many people did Obama ever manage? A dozen? A hundred? I don't know, but it's nothing like what he has now. Google tells me that about 14.6 mill work for him now. That compared to the paltry number that he ever managed, let alone the 9.5 mill in Chicago or even the 11.4 mill in Illionis. The guy signs the paycheck for more people than he had in his state. Whatever possessed the Dems, the MSM and a majority of the voters to make them even consider him capable of handling the job, I can't understand. But the did it and we will pay for that totally irresponsible act on their parts. Anyone wish to record a blunder-of-the-day chronicle for this poor man? Victum of his fantasies and the monstrous illusions of millions of our neighbors. It would be funny if I didn't have to suffer, but I do and everyone it the US and the world will pay dearly for this.

#7 Poor Barry. He's always been able to aim for a higher job classification once he grew weary of his current job, until now.

#8 For eight years, we were told a moron from stole an election.

It only took fifty days to see Crawford and Chicago share more than the letter "C".
