Barack-a-Bye Baby -- Obama Advisor Nods Off

Posted Apr 23rd 2009 7:01PM by TMZ Staff

Barack Obama wants change -- his top economic advisor just wants a nap.

Lawrence Summers, Director of the White House's National Economic Council, was caught dozing off during a meeting with credit card officials on Thursday.

Looks like someone needs a more stimulating stimulus plan...

16. Ruiz8ball,

I agree but all liberals vote on are "emotions" and "feelings". That is what they base their voting on period.

29. Obama likes to hear himself talk. And the constant chatter about nothing puts his advisors to sleep. Obama knows nothing about anything yet tries to act like he is on top of everything.

The latest micro meddling into the credit card companies typifies the Obama approach to everything... turn all the knobs and flip all the switches so the stupid Democrats think that you are doing something.

This guy is a tool.

And stay off the airwaves...no one wants to hear you ...except you.
