Lawrence Summers, Obama's head of the National Economic Council, fell asleep today during a White House meeting. This would be funny normally, but considering he did the same thing during an economic speech by President Obama in February, it's hilarious.

Now, we don't really blame Summers, being in charge of fixing this mess has gotta be rough, but it doesn't inspire extra confidence during this crisis. Then again, he is far from the first political figure to fall asleep in public, just check the handy slideshow below for evidence...
