Probably the most telling part of President Obama's appearance on 60 Minutes was when Steve Kroft asked questions about Obama's habit of cracking Jokes when he is discussing the toughest problems the country is facing:
STEVE KROFT: You're sitting here. And you're-- you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems. Are people going to look at this and say, "I mean, he's sitting there just making jokes about (LAUGHTER) money--” How do you deal with-- I mean, wh-- explain -
PRESIDENT OBAMA:Well--
STEVE KROFT:--the mood and your laughter.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Yeah, I mean, there's got to be--
STEVE KROFT: Are you punch drunk?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: No, no. There's gotta be a little gallows humor to (LAUGHS) get you through the day. You know, sometimes my team-- talks about the fact that if-- if you had said to us a year ago that-- the least of my problems would be Iraq, which is still a pretty serious problem-- I don't think anybody would have believed it. But-- but we've got a lot on our plate. And-- a lot of difficult decisions that we're going to have to make.
Punch Drunk, nervous laughter what ever you want to call it , the real fact is that the President is beginning to realize how "over his head" he really is. Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard says its obvious that his Presidency is flailing.
Jimmah Carter is celebrating tonight...
The more I read, the more I wish for anyone else, even Bill Clinton! I’d take anyone other this damn fool!
He needs to change the spelling of his last name to “Obamuh.” When he’s not on the teleprompter he can’t say 10 words without saying “uh.”
In a book, he was into homosexuals and a crack addict, so his behavior here doesn’t surprise me.
Obama is the name that has given “community service” a really BAD name!
Evertime him, or one of the demmies in charge, say something to this effect, I get really nervous.
Precisely, when they say he was a ‘community” organizer..what community was it?
zero’s brains drip out every once in a while.
remember joe the plumber?
I still can't believe I'm saying this...but...
...I sure miss the good old days, when we had a "good President" in the White House...
...I wish Carter were back in the White House.
That's how bad Obama is....that I yearn for Carter....
I read about this earlier today. So, I watched the clip. Well, it was not at all a disaster for Obama. One really has to see the clip. Personally, I believe that Obama is an abolute disaster for America. After reading the article, I expected him to really screw up in the clip. He never came close. It was much ado about nothing in my opinion.
I'd take Clinton in a heartbeat right about now. At least he didn't need a TelePrompTer to elicit his every thought.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: No, no. There’s gotta be a little gallows humor to (LAUGHS) get you through the day.
Why does the black man always refer to hanging or hanging devices. If a white man says jump rope then it becomes a hate crime. I think Barack is a racist. I don’t think it will be very long before most of America is praying for someone like George W Bush to return to the White House.
Celebrity in Chief.
Remember the Special Olympics?
“Jimmah Carter is celebrating tonight...”
What? He will no longer be regarded as the worst president that served during ModelBreaker’s life.
