Larry Summers, President Obama's top economic adviser, is catching some flak for appearing snoozy at a White House meeting today.

As Obama spoke after a private meeting with credit card industry executives, Summers appeared to doze off, closing his eyes, supporting his face with his fist at one point, and wiping his face at another. There are items with photos here and here.

The former Harvard president has been putting in long hours, of course, trying to help Obama find ways to resuscitate the economy.
