Obama The Captivating Public Speaker Puts Top Economic Advisor To Sleep: Again

Larry Summers, the president’s top financial adviser, apparently isn’t getting a lot of sleep.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. Summers reportedly fell asleep during an economic summit at the White House in February, but there were no cameras at that event.

This time there will be pictures of Summers, hand in chin – and what’s worse – as the president is speaking.
