After meeting with world leaders in Mexico, President Obama took to the podium to try and explain the fragile economic state of Europe. Instead, he droned on and bored the heck out of everybody watching. The whole thing made Twitter sleepy.
Todd's question to POTUS: "Mr. President, where is the Secret Service After-Party?"

O now speaking from Los Cabos. Standing by himself without Pootie Poo giving him the stink eye. Well, maybe he is but we can't see it.

I literally just dozed off for a few secs listening to Obama. I know I'm tired from launching the book today, but man alive, is he boring.

However, President Obama is actually taking questions from the press tonight. There must be a blue moon tonight. Perhaps some sparks will fly?
WHAT??? The Pres is taking questions???

It seems to me that asking @BarackObama an economics question is like asking an atheist about religion.

President: "Fair to say that (European economic mess) will potentially have some impact on the election." Asks Congress to pass jobs act

Pretty much Obama is sounding like someone who's completed a 6-week summer internship at a stockbroker's now.

OK, maybe not. Here comes a question on Syria. Maybe that’ll be more interesting.
Obama: "Assad has lost legitmacy." You think?

Obama: It's hard to envision better future 4 Syria while Assad is still there. That's how we feel about him & America.

All right, no progress there. Still super boring. Back to Europe’s dire straits.
O is going on and on and on and ruining many dinners across the country. Or maybe not. Maybe no one is watching.

That’s the end of the festivities. Truly awful.
Obama only took 3 questions – none on illegal immigration.

This is the only interesting thing that happened in the 45 minutes of our lives we wasted watching Obama talk.
