Obama Asked on "60 Minutes" if He is "Punch-Drunk" Due to His Bizarre Laughter - Video 3/22/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | March 22, 2009 | BrianinMO

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)

There is a hysterical quality to Obama's laughter

Even his eyes are laughing after he called on it. Very strange behavior indeed.

I don’t think the mediots will ever acknowledge their stupidity after 2 years of fellating “the One.” He’s their dog, and we will never tire of reminding them of how uncritical they were of the top dog on the democrat ticket while they savaged the backup player on the Republican side.

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

I know Obama is an idiot, but do you really think he would appear in public stoned? I would think his handlers would stop him, but maybe they didn't know.

gallows? Obama? I see.

Gallows = Death without a funeral.

Victims Name = Capitalism

After that the victim is thrown into Potters field without a casket or ceremony, never to be spoken of again.

Do you really think he's above a line or two in the bathroom just before he goes on?

And considering this show was "60 minutes", he would probably take a break at half time for a pick-me-up.

Gallows humor is a type of humor that arises from stressful, traumatic, or life-threatening situations; often in circumstances such that death is perceived as impending and unavoidable. It is similar to black comedy but differs in that it is made by the person affected.

That may be one of the most bizarre moments on ‘60 Minutes’ that I’ve ever seen.

Seeing this makes me think of your line, “you laugh too hard, you cry.”

The detachment/insulation from our lives by the puppet/TOTUS to implement the plan of the socialist’s long march continues apace. When there are no obstacles in sight and a 60-minute love fest at hand, it’s very funny to the conman.
