President Barack Obama said he believes the global financial system remains at risk of implosion with the failure of Citigroup or AIG, touching off “an even more destructive recession and potentially depression.”
His remarks came in a “60 Minutes” interview in which he was pressed by an incredulous Steve Kroft for laughing and chuckling several times while discussing the perilous state of the world’s economy.
“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 money—” How do you deal with— I mean: explain. . .” Kroft asks at one point.
“Are you punch drunk?” Kroft says.
“No, no. There's gotta be a little gallows humor to get you through the day,” Obama says, with a laugh.

Tin soldiers and Obama’s coming...
Wow-he didn’t even shave for the interview???
Already On NOW on CBS EST as I type this!!
America’s Kerensky???
Power drunk is more like it.
...It’s time we had a black president. Yea, the most incompetent lylng POS the democrats could find. I never thought I’d say this, but Hillary Clinton would have been a Godsend as POTUS. What a pathetic clown!!!
Let us know if Steve Kroft asks him about his letter to former President Jacques Chirac, where he writes that he is looking forward to working with him.
Where is the letter to President Sarkozy?
What the feckitty-feck? CBS is gonna air that?

And you're -- you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems.

I am watching but holding my nose
As this thing continues to unfold, the suspicion that perhaps he doesn’t know what he’s doing is turning into reality.
When are the Republicans going to stand up and make a definitive statement?
Are they going to let the drive-by media beat them to the punch?
always "FAIRNESS.". And that being HIS idea of *fairness*.
It's COMMUNIST CODE.
Ya’ know, just like with global warming... the shriller they screetch, the less inclined I am to believe it. Obama keeps pushing that we’re about to go over a cliff. Sorry Obama, you can only cry wolf so many times...
More like a transition to bankruptcy.
Because he isn't. He behaves like a college freshman because that's what he is. No one has ever asked any more of him. He has done nothing, he knows nothing, he has no discernable skills other than schmoozing the already faithful. He is a figurehead, and a piss-poor one at that. I really believe that there isn't much to analyze in that thick skullbone of his. Totally created by the media and already he is letting them down. At least clinton had a personality of sorts. This man is a cypher.
That Seals Crofts chances of ever getting to go to any of the Celebrity-in-Chief’s weekly WH parties.
This is series.
Does this jackass have a permanent segment on 60 Minutes??
