I know what it is like to go without sleep for days on end because of a medical condition I used to have. It makes it nearly impossible to think and speak in coherent sentences. I could barely function at my job. I can completely relate to Obama's circumstance.

Obama just finished his 100 days in office Press Conference ... and he did a superb job answering questions.

Maybe you should watch it?

You might actually get to hear what an intelligent president sounds like?

You certainly didn't have that chance during the previous 8 years!
Thanks for proving my point. If Obama can't handle the job, move on. I'm not asking an average Joe to be President, I'm looking for someone exceptional. I'm pretty useless when I'm sleep deprived but there are plenty of people who aren't. Many of our troops deploy overseas working 18 hour days for months on end and they manage to operate effectively.

I don't need excuses from a President, I need exceptionalism.

He was reading. It was abundantly apparent. And that's the problem. His speeches should not be completely scripted (no politician's should) rather he should just have notes his teleprompter. He should be familiar enough with his subject to speak to it naturally and only refer to notes to cite specific facts and to serve as an outline on what he is going to talk about.

So how exactly is Obama an "average Joe" ?

Does your typical "average Joe" graduate Magna C-u-m-Laude from Harvard Law School?

Do you even know what graduating Magna C-u-m-Laude means?

So ... I see you admit "sleep deprivation" can make it difficult to do your job.

Is Obama supposed to be some sort of "super-human" where lack of sleep should not affect him?

You throw "facts" about our troops around concerning sleep. Do you have any proof? Can you name a specific soldier who went with no sleep for days on end and his ability to do his job was not affected in any way? Making up "facts" on the fly doesn't make them "factual".

Why did you ignore my request in Post# 90 (see below)???

Is it because YOU CAN'T FIND ANY???

SANRENE (the OP) has also IGNORED this same request! I asked SANRENE multiple times in several posts with NO REPSONSE!

Since obama has never released ANY of his school transcripts or records, we really have no idea.

I have responded to you. All you have to do is go on Youtube, search for obama and they will all come up. Why should I do your work for you? Typical liberal mentality.

It is just a fact you cannot escape - he is THE teleprompter president - he can't even give opening remarks without TOTUS. He uses it for every event. That has never happened before.

Sorry.
