Barack Obama's offhand approach to Gordon Brown's Washington visit last week came about because the president was facing exhaustion over America's economic crisis and is unable to focus on foreign affairs, the Sunday Telegraph has been told.
Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been "overwhelmed" by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.
Allies of Mr Obama say his weary appearance in the Oval Office with Mr Brown illustrates the strain he is now under, and the president's surprise at the sheer volume of business that crosses his desk.
The American source said: "Obama is overwhelmed. There is a zero sum tension between his ability to attend to the economic issues and his ability to be a proactive sculptor of the national security agenda.
Remember all that stuff about Barack never having a real job, never having to perform, never having to work under pressure, never actually being responsible for anything? It's starting to show now.
Yep, Barkey Boy, can't read a speech off of your teleprompter and vote 'Present' anymore, can you? Well you wanted the job and now its yours. There are 300 MILLION people depending on you to make the right decisions.
You're the PRESIDENT, dipshit! You're in charge, you're CIC, you can't be overwhelmed!
