Here is video from last night's 60 Minutes Interview with President Barack Obama, where interviewer Steve Kroft asks Obama why he is laughing so much about the serious problems facing the nation. He ask Obama, "Are you punch-drunk," to which Obama says his laughter represents "gallows humor."

Obama's laughter at all the bailouts is out of place, and not Presidential at all. It is easy to laugh when you are on easy street, but quite another thing when you are on the other side facing the consequences of the socialist agenda Obama is pushing on the nation. . . . . . . (Watch Video)

the most damaging fact that he is "too cool for his own good":

Even when Obama went before the cameras to express outrage at the AIG bonuses, he seemed to nod to the contrived nature of it. During an East Room event, when Obama coughed, he drew laughter by departing from the teleprompter to crack: "Excuse me, I'm choked up with anger here." [youtube video at 2:50]

Actually he is just an idiot that is in over his head and does not even realize it yet..

That clip is scary. There is a hysterical quality to Obama's laughter...not gallows humor.

Jobless people are in pain and others are scared...and he has the audacity to laugh?

Damn strange!

The Obama laugh-a-thon comes on orders from Rahm Emanuel. Notice his goofy grins on Leno....joking about Special Olympics. Presser Gibbs was giddily "smiling through" ....... .........as the national outrage continues over bonuses and trillion dollar spending.

"It's Rahm. He sez you were great on 60 Minutes. No matter what happens, we all keep laughing. "

"The joke about Special Olympic bowling on Leno will endear you to working
class peons forced to payoff the deficits we are creating to make Democrats rich."

I’d still like to see him address the real problem with his agenda: What happens when he runs out of “other peoples’ money”

You need to keep your eye on the ball. He (the FED) just printed and released 1 TRILLION dollars I believe on Friday. You never run out when you run the printing press.....
Of course it will not be worth anything but heywe still have hope and change.....

[Thermalseeker]

He only laughs because he’s an idiot.

Reminds me of the Hillary cackle. Birds of a feather and all....

[Puppage]

Steve Kroft....

Kroft didn't challenge Obama on ANYTHING.

I think even the mafia is more principled than he. My point is that it’s the middle-class and on up that lost their breeches in the financial disaster, and he really doesn’t give a hoot about them getting boned. It’s that Marxist leveling out of the playing field, as if he rather enjoys it kind of laugh.

[PGR88]

He’s stoned.

[Venturer]

I think it’s more like when Hillary was told to cackle.

We all still remember her cackling episodes dont we?

[Venturer]

He is laughing because he has successfully screwed over about 85% of the Whites in this country in a little over 2 months.

That too!

So, when does the hyper-inflation begin? We need to know so we can spend the dollars we still have on more food & ammo....before those dollars become worthless.

re: There’s gotta be a little gallows humor to (LAUGHS) get you through the day.

Remember the old "Bud Lite" Commercials?

Speaker: Give me me a light.
(hand appears with lighter)
Speaker: Bud Lite

There was a 'joke' going around after the Challenger exploded. "What was the last thing said..."(you get the drift)

Can you imagine Ronald Reagan telling such a joke and then justifying it as 'gallows humor?'

What if George Bush had stood on the pile of rubble after 9/11 and made a joke about "and the walls came tumbling down?"

Obama has shown that he has no capacity to think outside of his universe. There is no empathy and no sense of decorum. Can you imagine the pillow talk at the WH? I bet no one is spared. He is nothing but a user. (But I am preaching to the choir)

[Ann Archy]

He’s a CHILD...he is so damn immature, it’s SICKENING!

[hosepipe]

What a concept........... a gallows on the White House lawn...
Oh wait he didnt say that.. Sorry...

Are even the flaming liberals beginning to wake up to this guy?

Zero is cool. Zero is hip. Zero is a zero.

I have no question that he's stoned in that clip.
