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.

It would be fine with me, but I don’t foresee it happening.
Portrait of n Immoral, Empty suited Idiot who reads Other People’s Words from Teleprompters! Pathetic!
“A blue dog Dem friend of mine said the other day that he wished Dubya was back.”
At this point, I’d actually be glad to have Bill Clinton back!
...or a strategy. Perhaps Clinton is content to sit back and watch him self destruct. It was, after all, mentioned as her only chance for 2012 after it became apparent she would not get the nomination this time.
Unfortunately, his mental disorder has gone public and we're all in it now.
Thanks for the link. Just as pertinent, about a page down, is the discussion on ‘unclear thinking’—which describes the TelePromterless O to a T.

The few minutes I suffered through the show I noticed that the interview was edited, a lot.
Seals and Crofts had some very good songs among those that were not. I was a “sort of fan” as I was of many of the groups that sang in the 60’s and 70’s.

better, yet! Mmm.... I lurves me some Mark Steyn!
Well, we’re in a Recession, getting worse thru his stewardship, possible depression, jobs are being lost, 401Ks and Bonds and Mutual Funds caving in, and the President is laughing about it.
What a ****.
Crazy stuff. Is the President cracking already?
Maybe its all the cocaine that he has snorted.
Does Obama suffer from hypomania?:
# inflated self-esteem or grandiosity
# decreased need for sleep (e.g., feels rested after only 3 hours of sleep)
# more talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking
# flight of ideas, or subjective experience that thoughts are racing
# distractibility (i.e., attention too easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant external stimuli)
# increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work or school, or sexually) or psychomotor agitation
# excessive involvement in pleasurable activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g., engaging in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments) [hoo-boy! foolish business investments? really? -ed.]
I don't believe his snorting days are over. And yes, he does have symptoms of still being a user.
Or it could just be that he’s been pulling on the bong a little too hard.
I agree.
