This, I have no problem with. You want him hanging out with idiots? Or, God for sake, taking advice from me?
I've had the unparalled honor of knowing a few genuine smart people. I want to spend as much time as possible with them.
Obama, as much as I disagree with pretty much everything he's done, is a human being. He needs to chill out once in a while. De-stress. You wouldn't want him making bad decisions, now, would you?

Are you a real world, down to earth, bill paying human being? Then your advice would be worth more than that from some giant in the world of novels or pop music.

Maybe a round of golf would help? Or a vacation in Hawaii?
People who went to school, do extremely well in their chosen career, but couldn't do something the rest of the world would call "simple".
Example; My BIL is extremely smart, when it comes to computers, he called Mom one day because his smoke alarm kept making a beeping noise every few minutes. Now, when he called her he had the beeping timed, and isolated that it was the smoke detector.... She walked him through changing the battery, he had no idea it had a battery, or that the cover came off. This was a guy in his mid 30's. She had to tell him to use a kitchen chair to reach it as he was going to go to the store and buy a ladder. He can't think around problems, there is no "outside the box". I'd rather have "street smarts" anytime.
"The architect Renzo Piano flew in from Genoa. The particle physicist Fabiola Gianotti arrived from Geneva. John Elkann, the chairman of Fiat and an owner of the Italian soccer club Juventus, came, too, as did his sister, Ginevra, a film director."
Sounds like an interesting dinner. Beats listening to me go on & on & on about my cars, my conquests, and my seemingly endless solutions to all the worlds problems...
I have stayed up many nights talking to people who are mentally stimulating.
I feel more refreshed after nights like those. The friends who make me think about things I've never thought before are the friends that stick around the most. They are the friends that are the most beneficial to me.
I would do the same if I were the president. And just because he may discuss the hardships of his job, doesn't mean he didn't expect it. It's just part of communication.

This complaint is meaningless.
On its face, it is meaningless.
I couldn't care less who he decides to relax with.
What is more meaningful to me is that he has used his notoriety to interact with a whole bunch of people who otherwise wouldn't have given him the time of day. For a while, he favored celebrities and athletes. Going on tv shows. That was fun for a while. Now to get together with "intellectuals".
Whatever. My bigger gripe would be with the media. Still trying to do stories to portray him as some mental giant. Contrast that with their constant attempts to portray Bush as an idiot.
Personally, I'd be happy if the President went on vacation until the end of his term. Because then, we wouldn't have to worry about him trying to foist another progressive "pie in the sky" idea upon us.
