Is Obama falling asleep?

Every time I've been seeing Obama over this past while, he's been looking tired, unenthusiastic, and just plain out of it. Things like his hair going grey goes along with it, too. It just seems like the president has been overworking too much, and he just isn't up for all of this. I've seen him like this over the past few times I saw him, like on TV shows like Letterman and the Daily show, where he just seems sleepy. Why is this happening? Is it because he's working too hard, is it that he hasn't been putting enough into his debates and image, or is it that he's just gone in over his head? Can he handle being the president over the next 4 years? I think that he will be elected once again in November, but will this 4 years be just far less then his first?

I agree he lacked energy tonight. They say he was never really was a good debater but that was definitely his worse debate I have ever seen him do. He has took on Hilary Clinton and went toe to toe with her, so I do not know why he did not challenge Romney? It isn't changing my mind none though. In my opinion Romney will just make the rich richer and the poor poorer if he gets elected. I do not see him cutting into the debt like he claims and I do see the country falling to shambles with all the things Romney is going to have to cut to make up for his tax plan. This will be good for people that do not follow politics, but for people that do just knew Obama was off his game. He better get a new debate coach because He has seen better days as far as that goes. It looked like Obama was playing not to loose instead of playing to win.

You make me laugh. "I don't care how uninformed and helpless Obama is, and I don't care that he doesn't know the answers to any questions, I am going to vote for him because even though Romney did know all the answers to the questions, I am sure he is evil incarnate". If you want an incompetent in the White House, then yes, go ahead and vote for Obama. Last night proved he's the one you want.

Obama just seemed flat last night but if you really think Romney is going to save the country go for it? Besides still 2 more debates I would not be gloating to much yet. The one I can't wait for is Ryan vs Biden. That one should not be boring. The gaffe master vs the compulsive liar. I know one thing Biden won't be flat against Ryan. He also won't put up with his nonsense.

Well, he didn't lose any sleep over the deaths of four Americans in Libya, we know that. He got the news of the attack within 90 minutes of it happening and then went to bed. It's probably all this partying with celebrities in Vegas that wore him out. If he is re-elected, we can only hope that the next 4 years are less than the first, because the first 4 have nearly destroyed us. Four more will finish the job.

It is hard to play golf, shoot hoops and make the celebrity show circuit. It is tough for a man who has not had a real job in his life. I find it interesting that for all the great work he did as a community organizer you have not heard people that he worked with coming forth and talking about it. He is so busy that he does not have time to read Intelligence Briefings. I say lets give the man a break ans retire him from office in November so he can get some rest.

Anyone would be tired after 5 years of constant campaigning. And that's not even mentioning the actual work and, as Bob stated, the running around he does. But that's certainly on him. He wants the job.

I think he got stressed out from campaigning for two years, he's been campaigning sine 2010. And I'm sure he's trying hard to do what he thinks is right for the country, unfortunately, people don't actually like what he thinks is good for the country.

George H. Bush looked the same in his second campaign season. Pres. Bush started losing and gave up. I am starting to think this same thing might be happening with Pres. Obama. He may be throwing in the towel. He appears that he likes the celebrity life better, which he would be when he is not a President anymore.

Well he certainly hasn't been over working at his job of being President. He has been doing a lot of campaigning and being a celebrity which is what he considers himself to be. He ignored his job so much that four Americans were killed in Libya because he did nothing about increasing security when the anniversary of 9/11 was approaching.
