Obama’s Economic Advisor Hits the Snooze Button

Larry Summers, Chief Economic Advisor of the Obama Administration has been caught fast asleep during a meeting with the press.
The press meeting was held to discuss talks earlier in the day Obama had with credit card companies. What is the public to think?
On one hand, merit can be given in that Obama is allowing for this kind of transparency in his administration. It is hard to believe that Bush would even allow a meeting of such economic impact to be captured onĀ camera.
Some may suggest that Obama’s leadership skills are compromised by his apathetic response to the snoozer. This situation may actually highlight Obama’s approach to governance.
Obama has been telling the people that overcoming the global economic crisis shall come as result of patience and hardwork, yet his own advisor is slacking for all to see.
Confidence in government will come through setting an example and not simply harbouring positive ideologies about what should or should not happen. At the same time, Obama may be working his administration so hard that they have no time left in the day to get suffice rest.
Either way, this snapshot is worthy of a chuckle.
