"Americans are tired of being tired," Joe Biden said. "It's clear that the American people have decided it's time to get up. They're tired of being told that we're in a long, slow drift."

Of course, this could be considered karmic payback for last April, when Biden seemed to get caught catching some shut-eye of his own during a presidential address. (h/t Fox Nation)
