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.
Maybe Obama has not givin up the Ganja hence his silly remarks and laughing out loud when no one else is.
It is really scary to know that my generation that is so Berkley ish and such are running this country.
If folks have left their Christian faith I would highly reccomend returning now because if our worst fears for this country happen we are all going to need our faith and the teachings of the Church to get through the suffering to come.
A lib kid tried to tell me God was like a Master and I was enslaved.
Uh no kid Love doesnt enslave people, evil does.
Bambi was just a pot smoking, coke snorting teeny-bopper when Jimmy Carter was wrecking the economy. Bambi learned nothing from the Carter years. Bambi is an ignorant affirmative action mediocrity that is way out of his league. But at least he’s black and this absolves the eternal liberal white guilt.

You know if Obama is failing ...thats ok, but he should not bring anyone along with him ...Im flat out worried
