Has Obama become bored with being president?
By: Byron York
Chief Political Correspondent
January 29, 2010


This is about the time Barack Obama becomes bored with his job.

He's in his second year as president, and he's discovered that even with all the powers of office, he can't do everything he wants to do, like remake America. Doing stuff is hard. In the past, prosaic work has held little appeal for Obama, and it's prompted him to think about moving on.

Begin with his first serious job, as a community organizer in Chicago. Obama got a little done, but quickly became frustrated with small achievements. "He didn't see organizing making any significant changes in things," Jerry Kellman, the organizer who hired him, told me in 2008.

2. Byron York? You do realize who this guy is, right?

In line with his typical neo-con scumbaggery, he's basically saying in this article that Obama is lazy. Got it. Why doesn't he just come out and say what he REALLY means?
