"You should be on the beach," Cameron told Obama. "You need a break. Well, you need to be able to keep your head together."

"You've got to refresh yourself," agreed Obama.

"Do you have a break at all?" asked Cameron.

"I have not," said Obama. "I am going to take a week in August. But I agree with you that somebody, somebody who had worked in the White House who -- not Clinton himself, but somebody who had been close to the process -- said that, should we be successful, that actually the most important thing you need to do is to have big chunks of time during the day when all you're doing is thinking. And the biggest mistake that a lot of these folks make is just feeling as if you have to be -- "

"These guys just chalk your diary up," said Cameron, referring to a packed schedule.

"Right," Obama said. "In 15 minute increments …"

"We call it the dentist's waiting room," Cameron said. "You have to scrap that because you've got to have time."

"And, well, and you start making mistakes," Obama said, "or you lose the big picture. Or you lose a sense of, I think you lose a feel-- "

"Your feeling," interrupted Cameron. "And that is exactly what politics is all about. The judgment you bring to make decisions."

"That's exactly right," Obama said. "And the truth is that we've got a bunch of smart people, I think, who know ten times more than we do about the specifics of the topics. And so if what you're trying to do is micromanage and solve everything then you end up being a dilettante but you have to have enough knowledge to make good judgments about the choices that are presented to you."

1. Bush caught on tape

"Wall Street got drunk."

"I thought you were gonna ask about the pig."

"There's on old saying down in Texas..........."

Giving a surprise back rub to a recoiling Chancellor Merkel.

3. But wait, there's more!

"See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over."

"There's Adam Clymer, major-league asshole from The New York Times."

2. did you read some of the comments? that place, as somebody else said, and thery're right,

is just about as bad as the site that shall not be named

and if that story is on the ups, Tapper, etal, are real aholes, not that he hasn't shown himself to be that many times already

have you seen MSNBC's First Read? much more rational posters there. they really took apart CBS over the Couric/McCain editing fiasco

seems the book here is that ABC is the most in the tank of the three networks, even moreso than CBS, if possible, given the above-mentioned story

still think the media is giving a fair shake to the sheikh? he really is a 'muslim,' you know

4. I don't see anything that was "Caught"

Obama is talking about political life with another politician.

It seems to be boring 'shop talk' to me.

5. Wow, stop the presses, this is hugh!!!1!!!1!

Obama is tired. He thinks some time scheduled to think is a good idea. He uses his judgment to make decisions. This is amazing.:sarcasm:

Someone had to do the satire.
