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.

Your showing your age....but that was funny ;-)
Fixed it for ya.
1 word.
c-c-c-c-cocaine.
the big thing about that picture is that soros is the only one sitting down, because he’s in charge
Another definition from Urban dictionary,: OBAMAMANIA, a new political movement that has an obsession and euphoria over the new American President, Barack Obama, that the liberal media has painted as some kind of “messiah,” a man who can solve their problems, and someone who can make the world a better place. The sad truth is that this movement is setting itself up for disappointment and sadness when it realizes that Obama is just another average politician who cares only about his rich influences but nothing for you.
Obamamania has been set up by the media that makes Barack Obama look like he is the answer to the world’s problems.
BINGO! You truly covered it. So few people have a clue about the Illuminati - it seems impossible to break that open.
This is much worse than “just” the economy. The problem is Legion.
I would love to see his opinion and jokes about the quote from Thomas Paine: "It is the duty of every patriot to protect his country from its government."
Wow, great video lecture.
“Someone giggling at a funeral would be a similar type of behavior.”
Well, there was Chuckles the Clown.
“A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants.”
He should be laughing. He was able to take advantage of an economic crisis caused by his own party to promote a much more extreme version of the anti-market, pro-big government economic agenda that caused the crisis in the first place.
Yes. He cannot handle the job, but it is a job you cannot ignore. He is between a rock and a hard place and will be crushed. It is only a question of how long till he totally looses it. No way he can last four years never getting around to showing up to the job. He does not have a room full of congressmen to cover for him now.
There is only one president, and this one is out to lunch.
That was disgusting. He was posing! Ugh.
Just the sort of guy to throw a temper tantum and bring the World to Nuclear war with the football. Live has become a Steven Spielburg horror movie.
It would have to be for health reasons, and they would have to manufacture something serious, plus go ahead and give him the pension and Secret Service protection. Heck, I would be for giving him 10 million dollars from the government treasury and a home in Monte Carlo if he would agree to leave.
Thanks for letting me know that you watched and appreciated Evan Sayet vid. It is important. Wish everybody could hear this.
I would expect it would be a cinch to not only find the trail head, but also to grab a map from the box in the kiosk, from a "fellow traveler".
I wonder why all those who told me that we could NOT DO WORSE than G.W. Bush don’t call me now and tell me how happy they are and how wrong I was. I just can’t figure it out.
ping,
I think he and his staff are working on an agenda, even if it bores him.
Without a teleprompter and a speechwriter he is an empty suit.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Nay, an empty suit actually has positive value. He is a huge negative. If Washington was our greatest president then this creature from the pit is the anti-Washington, undoing at an incredible rate everything postitive that has ever been accomplished under the American flag.
