first?!?!?
you fail more than the sleeping girl!
it’s a boy! I watched the video
I’d say this is a win on the boy’s part. He didn’t have to listen to that boring windbag and instead got something useful done.
Say what you want about Obama, but he’s certainly not boring
If you have an ounce of understanding of the legal system or of economics…yes, Obama is REALLY boring.
Obama is boring, you have to agree…
Agreed.
That definitely looks more like a “Win” than a “Fail”.
More like “Sleeping Time WIN”
atleast when bush was president we had bushisms
OMFG Bush is gone. We all hated his ass. Let it go. It is obongo’s time now and he doesn’t seem to be doing much better. I suppose the oil spill is Bush’s fault too. Maybe heez beez needan an amberlamps tus stops da leekin… MUHDIK!!! XD
hey at least bush was funny. obama doesn’t know his butt from a hole in the ground and when he talks it’s pretty clear that he equates lots of filler words as knowledge
And what is it that puts you in a position to judge obama’s knowledge or lack therein?
Please provide examples of theses filler words you so authoratively speak of.
You wish you were John Galt. Instead you’re just a Fox News watching follower. A sheep. No, a sheep follower. How’s the view?
Those sheep musta put you to sleep…WAKE UP!
Ever hear the line:
“You bring down one enemy, and find
someone even worse to replace him.”
The “president” is just someone that the “TRUE RULERS” have in place so he can be blamed for everything bad that happens to the American people
Obama but a 10 % tax on tanning…..McCain would never have done that!
So in other words:
All talk & no action.
Correct?
So I could say he’s a terrible President that has terrible policies and has been terribly inept at the majority of his undertakings. I could say numerous racial slurs, but that’d be ok because I didn’t call him boring? Right…
Then: DONT ELECT LEADERS THAT ARE RIGGED TO MAKE THE COUNTRY SUFFER…OH BUT THEY FORCE YOU TO VOTE AND DONT GIVE YOU ANY GOOD OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM…not democracy…thats more like communism.
Personally, I always find speeches boring whoever it is making them
OBAMA FAIL!
Amen!
Who came blame the guy, that useless cunt hasn’t ever got anything worth Listening to to say.
very much so agreed
Looks like the guy in front of him is also falling asleep.
if you had the opportunity to watch the speech…. the kid at the front was picking his nose and the girl directly behind him was making weird faces.
the fail is pointing at the wrong black person in that pic.
ooops sorry half black person.
agreed 100%
That’s not very nice to say about the Prez of the U.S.
I fall asleep every time he speaks too…
Thats not her sleeping face. Thats her “I came” face.
Wanna go up stairs? U kinky little B*tch!!!!!!!!!!!
He really enjoys those talks
Hey 10loladahl,
How bout me u and a baboon get a room and a HOJO, we’ll spoon you real good.
Not today, hun, my head hurts.
Good times, good times.
Did the same thing at my graduation back in the day.
really? the president spoke at your graduation and you fell asleep whilst caught on camera?!?! what was it like?!?!?!?!?!?!?!111
Obama: New sleep aid for teenagers.
That kid is lucky that it was Obama speaking and not one of our politicians. That would have been lethal.
Gotta love the US one of few countries where you can publicly show that you think politicions suck.
Where do you live that you can’t? North Korea?
Americans are still stuck in the “We Is Da BeSt CoUnTrY eVaR wE iS dA oNlY 1z wId FrEe SpEeCh”. Alot of the countries (if not all) in Europe have free speech, Australia also.
Thank you very much for this amazing insight. I especially like that you didn’t generalize.
WIN. And I’m English – just so people don’t assume I’m biased.
So… the English don’t have bias? Poor you.
Lol
We unfortunately have many biases, including bias binding, which is slightly more useful than the pompous imperialistic attitude that some of my fellow countrymen and women suffer from.
We don’t have biases. BTW, how’s your sunburn? Oh sorry, of course you’re too drunk to tell.
Erm, am I missing something?
*pulls clueless face*
*rereads*
*pokes Arthur forcefully*
(Two common stereotypes here.)
*remembers to refresh*
*squeeze*
*squeeze*
Apologies for my speed, I may just be reinforcing one of those stereotypes with the Shiraz I had for lunch!
*suddenly bursts onto thread with two England flags, with shirt over head*
*yells*
ENGERLAAAAAND!!!
Sorry, what were we talking about?
Wrong. You have hate speech laws.
Alot of countries having freedom is good thing.
The “SHADOW GOV” is currently running everything in America and is resticting freedom<-bad news
No country has ever been the "best"
I dont think the KPA will allow you to live if you do that to their…er…”leader”
every president has one except Clinton which had monica
Our president didn’t have a sleeping kid around. Maybe that’s why he resigned.
Ya, he had to much attention paid to him.
why every time has a president a sleeping kid on his left?
Bush had also one is that magnetism?
People say it’s good luck to have a sleeping kid on your left…
Really weird people, of course.
Really, REALLY weird and creepy people.
But they may have a point : D
looks like a nap time WIN to me
I would be napping too
The kid in front of the sleeping one is zonked too.. he just hasn’t fallen over yet!
That’s for sure a WIN!
I think it looks like he’s (she’s?) Touching himself (again-?).
he (she?) probably saw the fail cuming!
this is no fail. this is a WIN! who wants to listen to that pompous arrogant prick speak.
Me.
Me too
Me three.
Arthur fail! I agree with stackmonster. This is a naptime win ^_^
P.S. I’m American
No, not a fail, an opinion, which we are all entitled to under the statutes of free speech, as are you.
I disagree, therefore you fail.
♫Oh Reginald!♫

Hey, what is Spock’s son doing there?
Trying to stay awake, apparently.
Can you blame her for falling asleep? BO has got to be one of the worst orators ever to hold the presidency (next to GW) The guy can’t even string together a coherent sentence. Have you ever heard him speak off tele-prompter? Atrocious.
hahahahaha *high five*
Isn’t this public speaking fail?
Isn’t this a win?
This is more of a win than a fail!
In fact, I want to find this guy and give him a high five!
It was exhausting listening to all his lies
i think thats a girl?
She could have just been cracking her neck. Since it’s video you can pause at any time and grab a frame to make it look like whatever you want.
most disturbing is that Obama somehow turned white..
It’s funnier cause she’s black.
That is an all out WIN!!! I’d fall asleep too if that guy was speaking. Every time you hear that guy say, “the thing about that”, a lie usually follows.
total WIN
This is more like a speech fail than a nap fail.
Win.
Not even Obama can make political speeches interesting.
Am I the only one thinking to put some shades on her and captioning “Dat ass”?
so is this called failling asleep?
The kid sleeping is male. I’m from Kalamazoo. And yes, he is sleeping, not cracking his neck. He was falling forward and backward the whole speech.
he didn’t sleep he masturbate and came.
I don’t blame the guy, Obama’s speeches are really boring.
I wonder if that kid is Republican, and decided to take a nap on purpose.
AMERICA!
Wow, a lot of morons on this page. I’m disappointed Failblog.
Becaose not everyone is a Ozombie? Obomzbie? Help me out here fellas.
*Because*. I type fast and sometimes don’t check my own spelling.
No… it’s because there are a lot of moronic comments on this page. :/ Regardless of whether or not they are for or against the O-man.
Aw, give the kid a break! She’d probably worked eighteen hours straight rehearsing last minute and probably worked her butt off for weeks prior to the visit.
I see no fail here. I’d probably fall asleep, too, if forced to listen to Oblunder.
..and the other pictures was that failing guy but was sleeping at the floor..more fail
WTF John Travolta’s doing on this photo???
Whats the big deal? He was tierd or uninterested. I feel bad for Obama, he is our president and instead of us having faith in him most of us find him to be a lozer. Why? Could any of us handle disaster and work? War, hate, crime, and still be a father? I am proud of him. He isn’t the best but my God! People look at yourselves! Many people get faced with losing our jobs and we go crazy, our children misbehave and we beat them or we talk about our neighbors because they have something better than us. The man is trying to balance the Gulf, Iraq, normal politics, wall street, AND his personal family life! I highly doubt that if any of us seriously tried, that any of us could do any of what he is trying. You don’t have to like him, but he is just a man, a human man, he cannot do everything perfectly. No one can do anything perfectly but he is trying his best. Give a little respect. If you dont like what hes done, give him credit for not going insane, or needing a shrink. Its amazing he can handle so much and I think thats an awe inspiring trait for any person to poses. Do not give up on him when he has not given up on us. We owe our country our faith and our prayers. Things have not gotten out of hand yet, before they get the chance to do so try and change something. You want something to go differently? Do something other than posting that hes boring. Write, call, send e-mails. Do something other than sitting at your computer thinking it is ok to talk bad about a person who is trying their best. At least he is doing something. The child in this picture is graduating. Why would he sleep all night and not party or have fun celebrating? I dont blame him for being tierd, it was deffinitly a bad time! But hay, everyone has slept in class or during a speach before, he just did it during Obamas… ^^ Love is much harder to teach than hate. Watch what you do, it impacts everyone around you.
*snores* *sleeps* You’re more boring than Obama. Face it, the hype died hard.
I dont care if you think that way. Its good to have an opinion. =3
“The man is trying to balance the Gulf, Iraq, normal politics, wall street, AND his personal family life! I highly doubt that if any of us seriously tried, that any of us could do any of what he is trying.”
And you know what? That’s why we’re not running for President. On the other hand, that’s Obama’s JOB, to be able to effectively balance all of those things and excel at it. And so far, he’s failed.
You do not understand my point of view, its fine though. You dont have to agree with me, but understand, it isn’t easy and everyone complaining doesn’t help. He is a person, and people do have emotions and feelings. He is not a droid. Just understand how he must feel. He must feel the same way, afterall, everyone is telling him he is a failure, why should he believe otherwise? Emotions affect everything, even a little understanding or support must be a welcome relief from his norm. Everyone fails. Sometimes is much larger and impacting, but everyone does it. Tests, jobs, marraige. Life is hard for everyone. Don’t be so angry at him. He cannot help it. Not when no one has faith in him.
Nope, we gotta hate on him ’cause RAR I HAVE OPINUNS
-Can’t help but giggle- I talk big but im still a teen, and that was to funny! RAWR! -Storms around like a dino- -Laugh-
The point you’re missing is he has failed at even the simplest of tasks. Bi-partisanship, clarity, appraochable administration, ect, ect,ect. If he had promised to flush the toilet after going he would have screwed that up as well. Bottom line, he either forgot what he campaigned on or lied cause he is in his own little world out there.
I am sorry but hes not THAT bad. All that it is really is social psychology here. One person starts it and the others keep it going. Not eveyone views him badly
Yes and it happens to be taking hold all over. His approval has dropped like a stone over the past 6 months. without getting too political or pointing things out, he no longer has the hype.
I get that. In politics there is a need to keep aproval. That much he is lacking but I can’t expect him to be Jesus or anything. No one can make everyone love them or like them forever.
I am glad to see there is a voice of reason in this sea of pointless name-calling. And you’re a teen, no less. Many older commenters on here should learn maturity from you.
Thank you. ^^ Thats very nice of you but truthfully I am still a kid, and I havn’t experienced as much as everyone else has yet. I still have alot to learn. Thank you for the compliment!
Its impossible for the US president to fix the problems in America because none can get the job done, or even do it right.
I no longer favor any president,ruler,leader,ect in power anymore…
The people can do a better job themselves than any one person.
That is the way most of Michigan feels about him.
Well, can’t blame The Man for all the mess the last president made.
Unless he makes a bigger mess. (Trillion dollar deficits, corrupt nominees dropping out like flies, corrupt officials taking bribes from BP and clearing that rig before it blew). Bush was no prize pig either, but Obama seems just as helpless as he looks around afraid to call terrorists terrorists and fly around doing fund raisers when the gulf is filling up black.
Amazing, even when on a decidedly non-political site any picture of Obama brings out tons of trolls. Why does this happen. The fail is about the person falling asleep at their graduation, and has nothing to do with the president, but the comments went that direction almost immediately. Has politics truly permeated society to such an extent that anything that can be related to politics and partisanship will be?!
/gets off of soapbox
Ikr? Seriously, stick to the fail people.
I watched a few seconds of the video to this.
I think it’s a guy, and well….think about it. Last minute rehearsals, bright lights shining on you while you have on a choir outfit (which combined makes you very warm), so it probably made him sleepy, all political issues aside.
Ahaha, I saw this on the news and was thinking the ones on the right sure look like they’re having fun.
Obama is the biggest fail.
I’ll bet that kid caught a serious a$$ whoopin’ from his Gran when he got home. LOL.
This is not a fail, IT’S A WIN!!!!
Might be a narcoleptic.
Im falling asleep just looking at Obama
I think presidency makes people stupid. Obama seemed like he would be a great president and now he is just like all of the others.
What is stupid, is think that 1 out of 2-3 canadates can truly work fo the people and at least “TRY” to make the country better for all…but when it is rigged to where the people give all they’re rights and freedom to the government by voting…then you do not live in a democracy…
I kind of wish there were a separate site for political fails. Sometimes I just want to not see politicians.
Writer! How have you been? I haven’t seen you post on any website for nearly 3 years! I saw a picture the other day! Nice hat, those dog ears on it are a bit much tho arn’t they? You are a scardy cat arn’t you? Maybe I should sent you a cat hat in the mail? Poor baby is probably afraid of spiders still? Stop with your die hard protection of a person you don’t even know. No one is on your side so shut up. Your almost as big a failure as he is, if not bigger! Go downstairs to your room and cry on your teddy bears. I know you still have some. Your never going to grow up are you?
Hi Editor. Nice to hear from you too. I didn’t realise you had the money for the internet. Did you get a job finnaly? Good for you. How long are you going to be mad at me? This isn’t the place to bring up our issues. I dont care if you hate me I couldn’t help doing what I did. You did cheat on me. You have my number, call I will not discuss this over the internet. Good bye Editor.
Now I’m interested. What’s this about?
Hes upset because I dumped him for cheating. He isn’t a bad person or anything, I’m just more positive than he is. ^^’ Thats all really.
W/e Writer! Expect my call!
OBAMA is FAIL
And PS: That`s a win for me!
Lol looks like the dude from ‘sittin on a toilet’
Blah blah hope, blah blah change, blah lie togetherness, lie blah make jobs……..
oh crap… nap attack, Zzzzzzzzz
this is more like a win.
O is an arrogant, incompetent, Social1st, Musl1m windbag. He would put any normal person to sleep if they were unable to leave the room.
Okay, no…
Kid Time Spending WIN
Obama being interesting FAIL
This is more like Obama Fail.
Jizz.. In My Pants.
Writer, it is so good to know there is at least one person with decent logic and a functioning brain still on-line, other than me. Editor, shut it. Many people are on his (or her) side. Now I just have to find where all the smart people went so I can feel at home.
I am a girl, just to let you know! =D
Also, Justice is a jerk for making fun of one of the smartest posts on Failblog ever, and thats a big deal.
Are you sure this is worthy of being on here? I would’ve done the same.
This should be a win!
Anyway, isn’t this fail about the child sleeping during the presidents speech, politics aside, its not that hard to understand. I remember my graduation, I didn’t even party that hard and I couldn’t keep my eyes open for the life of me! I fell on my buddy in front of me, thank goodness he was awake and shoved me back up before anyone noticed me! I graduated fairly young too, only 16 in a half when I did. Been a few years sence (like 2 LOL) then. This truthfully has nothing to do with Obama, it was just his speech is all. The kid would have slept no matter who was talking. (Ok, maybe not God but, hay! Obama isnt God) They guy partied hard and had to catch some z’s! Some people are also just not interested.
Or they just arnt smart enough to keep up. I don’t agree with your lozer face, but I don’t like these other people here anyway. The spelling and grammer sucks. The IQ here is nearly zero anyway. I just don’t like anyone of these people in general. We’re stuck with this man. I don’t feel like whinning along side drop outs. Writer if you don’t get off and write that paper for tomarrow you’ll fail like these other people and my only source of amusement and intelligent conversation will vanish. Go work, I wont be so nice next time!
Hay thanks for the reminder but I did it last week! ^^ Its 15 pages long, how about yours? =D Im so glad your not saying mean things to me!
Don’t push your luck. (It’s 13 pages long.) I still hate you.
Okay, for starters, there is a reason for the improper grammer/spelling. This website is for us to freely express ourselves, and for some, this means having a sense of humor, even in a serious situation. Just because something isn’t completely to your tastes, doesn’t mean you should go around bashing it like you are the king of the world or something.
My case in point. This “…” is clearly crative and smart! What? You can’t even think of someting simple? Okay, for starters, there is a reason your IQ is 91!!!! Don’t talk to me like your my owner!
Editor behave your self! Thats very rude! If you don’t friday night is off!
Fine damn it! Im freaking sorry. Back off me now, I’m going to bed so walk your butt down the hall and get your stupid stuffed bear, why the hell is it even in my room?!? When did you get in here?!
How do you think that magic birthday cake appeared in the fridge? It was dark, you never took back your key, and you know I dislike the dark, I thought I lost Pookey! I’m on my way ok? Don’t hurt him or I’ll hurt you. -Gets up and leaves room-
wow… you just totally got owned by a girl and you’re sitting here fighting with her over the internet.. by the way, “the editor” how original is that, really? and you say I lack creativity. Look in a mirror before you judge someone, you might just end up pointing out some of your own faults in the process of insulting me.
-Makes it back- I made that name for him. He named me and I named him. We’ve been best friends sence we were little, thats what we would rite as our names on our papers in elementry school.
I am not your best friend. Bring back my pillow case you theif.
Well then, why not tell him not to insult me? But anyway, can anyone tell me how we got on the subject of pillow case thieves…? I thought we were talking about Obama?
Thats simple, its 4 am where we are and we haven’t slept all night! ^^ I just got robbed of my new pillow case. I can’t wait until he realises he took the wrong one and I still have the one with the picture of us a kiddies in it. <3 He is so much fun sometimes. Oop! He just came back and is now telling me off. I'm getting off for now, he doesn't even realise a birthday cake means a birthday. He must be getting old! ^^ Bye everyone! Sleep well "…"!
an apocolypse must be coming soon, I’ve actually found a few people with logic on the internet, and on fail blog no less. Really, why aren’t you in an actual government position?
lol agreed
Hometown fail. So proud. Way to go Kalamazoo.
Fail? Looks like a win to me. I’m sure it’s not the first time someone has slept through one of Obama’s interminable and hollow speeches.
That kid is clearly racist, right lefties????
Indoctrination win.
I know speeches are boring but jeez, dude!
That’s my school! Man, aren’t we classy….
this no fail but a win
win
win
win
win
win
Come on dude!!! The president of the United States is at you graduation!
You know what I’m sayin, right people?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
hahahaha, I watched this part on TV…so funny. I probably would’ve been sleeping too.
I know that kid!
why is this labeled fail? this is a total win
I just can’t stand these people on here. Sadly I have the same general view as Writer, I jus want to piss her off, but really people. You ellected him, its your faut. Fix it your damn selves. If all you can do is whine, cry, and moan the human race is the real fail here. Thank you whatever being is watching over us that none of you people are in a position of power. This is a truely pathetic group of posts. Until you do something about it shut up and deal. Otherwise just keep waiting until hes out of office, then you can ellect someone else you’ll hate after a few months. Whooo! I’m glad to call you people Americans. (If you can’t tellin your tiny minds what I just did just then, it is called sarcasm! Definition: Sarcasm is the use of words to damage the reputation of, or hurt, another person. It is “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark”)
What do you call an American who wants to start another revolution to put the American people in charge of themselfs?
or would just call anyone with such a idea a terrorist?
If the guy in front of the sleeping guy isnt Vernon Kay, then I’m a page 3 girl!
That is the difference between Bush and Obama, Bush was not boring at all, he was simply stupid!!!
you fail more than the sleeping girl!
Obama speech fail. random kid win
the votes were 6666
Wow…my graduation is on failblog…
hahaha! this kid was a disappointment to our graduating class
Notice The White Kid In Front Wont Dare Try That S**t!!!
