AP Fears Barack Obama is Suffering Burn Out

Progressives in the media begin circling the wagons. Because this president stuff is hard.

It looks like last night's debate in the comments to this post on Obama's poor vacation timing was not an accident. The idea Obama needs vacation time precisely because there are a lot of bad things going on is a progressive talking point.

I see three possible rationales. One, they have genuine concern for the president. Two, they are making excuses for his distant behavior. Three, they are bracing for the announcement he will not run again and will instead cash in on speaking fees and book sales. Take your pick.
