Heres the real joke. Pull out the top top symptoms of schizophrenia and then review the clip a second time. Catch three of the symptoms? I did. Watch the crowd behind him...it was a very uneasy laugh and forced...they didn’t readily get the joke that he invented out of thin air. A joke which simply wasn’t funny. Thats number one symptom. Number two...there actually was a seance in the White House...by Hillary Clinton and her folks. Lack of concentration and memory is a second symptom. Third? Strangely worded or constructed sentences...like “...living presidents”.
Life was great as a legislature member in the state house or a senator in DC...because you could arrange your day and chill out for two or three hours to relax. You had your weekends. Between a medium stress environment, meds, and a fair amount of time off...you made it.
Now, with pressure on for eighteen hours of day, various meetings, policy development and changes and almost no real significant time off...you’ll have to improve your meds or find yourself tossing out more symptoms to the public. The comedians are going to find themselves jokes like this everyday to toss back onto the administration. They got used to it with Bush, and I expect no let-up. They have to make profit and they will take every joke you give.
“The comedians are going to find themselves jokes like this everyday to toss back onto the administration.”
One problem with that theory. The next thing they toss back onto this guy will be the first thing. Waiting patiently.
Agree, Obama doesn't make gaffes, only Biden does.
I don’t know about any kind of clinical diagnosis, but I’m listening to what those Newsweek guys talk about him being slightly creepy, wants to be on the stage all alone and he watches us watching him and wondering what’s amiss.
I read a report during the primary that said all the campaigning was making Obama very tired and could he hold up over the long haul. I heard a pundit say he was clearly very tired after the press conference on Fri. The pundit didn’t elaborate so I don’t know what he was basing that on.
When unscripted, he does say a lot of very strange things and his jokes are sort of a disconnect to reality.
Also, what are all those uhs and ums about? One would think that he could work with a speech coach and correct that, but it seems to be getting worse.
In a way, I almost feel sorry for him because he has been propelled either through his own self ambition or the ambition or others who are using him as a pawn into a situation he is not nearly ready for. I just hope and pray that he doesn’t do lasting harm to this nation.
