One member of the Kalamazoo Central student choir sitting behind the president had some serious trouble staying awake.

In videos posted online, the boy is seen succumbing to a series of gaping yawns as Obama offers advice on how to succeed in life. Later, the boy's eyes droop and his head rolls forward until his chin rests on his chest, and it appears he has nodded off.:lol::lol:

I was expecting a video. I am disappointed. I was imagining it would be something like this.

There have been some exciting times where I've almost nodded off. Lack of sleep can do that for you. But still, thats kinda funny.

I fell asleep before in church the size of a small house with the pastor on a microphone with 3 concert speakers while he was yelling/preaching.

The kid probably already has his whole life planned out so he doesn't need advice on how to succeed. Sounds like the kid is just like me. I'm the greatest success of all time. My house is packed to the ceiling with cash and I spend all my time playing games, eating KFC, and swimming through my cash.

Me at home on a usual day

If it were me I would be too terrified of being caught by one of the OBVIOUS cameras or even worse having the President turn around and see you sleeping. :P

If the President turned around and saw me I'd be like, "What? Don't you have spilling oil to tend to or something?".

what falling asleep on Obama! The kid must be a racist, I bet if if a White president was giving the speech the kid would stay awake.

To be fair, he did have to stare at the back of his head the whole time.

None of them exactly looked happy to be there. I mean, this is the president of the USA and they just kind of stair off into the audience...wow. But honestly, most of Obama's speeches are pretty much the same and none of them are really that great.

It's Kalamazoo Central. That's the nicest insult I could give since my head was popping up with lots of really inappropriate humor.

That kid probably got hosed the night before. When I graduate from things I get drunk as hell. It also seems to snow a lot whenever I'm graduating so that keeps me up all night.
