Kudos to blackwaterdog for first breaking the important news that President Barack Obama may be putting the country at risk by spending far too much time with his daughters in a stunning expose.
Terrifyingly (as always with this President), the story doesn't end there. The New York Times has a follow up bombshell expected to be published later today, the essentials of which as follows:
BREAKING NEWS FROM NYTIMES: Does President Obama sleep too much?
He gets a doctor-recommended 7 hours a night, but some critics on the right say he could be using that time to work on jobs legislation they plan on killing anyway. An anonymous source grumbles, "We let him have shower time and three 10 minute meals a day, not to mention a daily phone call with his wife, but this whole 'good night's rest thing' is beyond the pale."
Erstwhile Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin took to her Facebook to criticize the President. "Being from Alaska, it is such that we Alaskans know like all Good Americans that it is so important to get up early for Ice Fishing, and with the sun and all being in a different time zone, we don't sleep Or blink when Real, Average Sleeping America is."
When contacted at his lush home in the deepest hellcircle of the Mines of Moria, Vice President Dick Cheney graciously interrupted a game of pinochle with the local Balrog to complain that the president's sleeping habits were "putting the nation at risk. I made certain deals to ensure that I would never need to sleep again, and spent my twilights hunched over my crystal ball directing the flying monkeys to harass little girls. Every veep needs a stress release."
It is expected that after the inevitable media backlash, President Obama will agree to remove sleeping from his schedule and replace it with tax cuts.
