Good grief. The reason we insulted the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was because the President is all worn out from pushing socialized medicine and out-of-control spending.

Barack Obama’s offhand approach to Gordon Brown’s Washington visit last week came about because the president was facing exhaustion over America’s economic crisis and is unable to focus on foreign affairs…

I’m not sure I buy it. On the one hand, it sounds nicer than the calculated-insult theory. On the other hand, surely someone on staff at the White House would advise against broadcasting our President’s limitations.

From the article:

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.

Man up, already. What was it Harry S Truman said about heat and kitchens?
