I'm not surprised by his tardiness. I think it is pretty much common knowledge that Obama is very arrogant and he pretty much lives in his own little world. But I don't think his lack of punctuality is that big of a deal. I still think he will be an efffective President.
"To me, being tardy, it's got to be one of two things," said presidential historian Doug Wead, who advised both Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush. "Bad organization that can be corrected, or it's arrogance. It sounds to me like this is arrogance."
OHHHHH NOOOO!!!! THIS IS TRAGIC!!!! TRAGIC I TELL YOU!!!! We all might as well go kill ourselves, the sky has fallen, the world is coming to an end, I can't live life like this, goodbye cruel world!

Unlike his predecessor, President Obama has struggled to arrive on time to events and news conferences.
WASHINGTON -- There's a new time zone in the nation's capital: Obama Time.
Barely two weeks into his presidency, Barack Obama has made a clean break from George W. Bush in several high-profile moves, including reversing a number of the 43rd president's policies.
He's also reversed an unwritten but much-noticed Bush policy: Be on time, all the time.
Obama has been routinely late to events and news conferences, including the ones at which he reversed Bush's orders. This has led to an already familiar refrain from the Obama camp: "He's running late."
