Somehow, I have a feeling the Iraq meeting will last more than an hour. Especially after this morning's phone calls....

I know his day did not begin at 1 pm; why leave out the morning?

Yo, come on. The dude was out last night dancing 'til dawn, after standing for about 73 hours watching an estimated 1452 marching bands, after becoming PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
My guess is, he slept in.
