I just watched the video. He was definitely sleeping. You know how someone starts nodding off and then kinda jerks their head up? Oh. I just remembered. I nodded off too during the speech.

If there's any defense, he probably already knew what the President was going to say.
Although the President is usually pretty verbose, I was astounded how many incorrect things he crammed into so few words.
I guess it couldn't be too bad since you didn't call it "lies". It'll be interesting to see how you spin this, although it's probably going to be close to one of your favorite rags.
http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/04/obamas-budget-speech-shows-his-unyielding-ideologyPresident Obama on Wednesday declared himself "honest about what's causing our deficit" and ready to face "tough choices." Yet he insisted on "protecting" his administration's "investments in the future."
Billed as a speech about cutting the deficit, Obama instead delivered a speech about why not to cut spending and why to preserve all of his programs. "We do not have to sacrifice the America I believe in," he said, in one of his many uses of the first-person singular.
You've got to question the intelligence of the author of that piece considering Obama said "
We".
Then we have Fox's Charles Krauthammer's comments:

Hah! Now go back and read the comments on the Examiner's story!
It is astounding to see how far America has fallen since January 20, 2009. I used to think there would be something left to save after 2012. But the country's descent has been so rapid that "Thelma" Uhbammah may have already driven us off the cliff and we're halfway to the canyon floor and don't even know it yet. In fact, it seems that the witless part of the country has bought the Dimocrat reasoning that 'we're doing OK...give him time' solely because we have not hit bottom of the canyon yet.
History will record that this country committed suicide by Barack Hoover Uhbammah, peace be upon him, abetted by the legions of imbeciles who elected this fraud.
Tim, just say it and get it done with....He's a Marxist of better yet a neo-Marxist. And don't forget the uber-libs in the Congress, they're Marxists as well. Keep putting the label on them so the American people understand who we're dealing with.
"His America" and "His vision"; what a narcissistic spin-meister. His vision for America is total destruction of his enemies and party favors for his friends. The only problem is that WE are gonna take the dope away from the dealer; watch the DEM-Rats scurry to get off the burning SS Messiah....
Obama despises Our Country, Our Constitution and Our Laws. What else is there to say?
Doesn't his speechs remind you of Castro? Aside from the cigar he has the same body language, hand language and speech presentation.
Wonder if Castro read from a teleprompter too?
I truly believe Obama has a mental disorder!
