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 worlds 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.

Soros.
maybe it will be on tonight?
Drug use and childhood trauma can cause that kind of dissociation. It can also be a sign of a sociopathic personality. Someone giggling at a funeral (like Clinton).
But he’s been having champagne parties at the White House and yucking it up on Jay Leno like there’s no tomorrow. He’s a punk on Spring Break. He’s distancing himself from reality, like he’s not responsible. Adult Children of Dysfunctional Parents Syndrome.
Obama without his teleprompter is a truly frightening sight.
I haven’t seen any sign of the brilliance and competence Chris Buckley, David Brooks, David Gergen, etc. insisted he had. It’s amateur hour at the White House with a president who’s turned out every bit as liberal as his voting record indicated.
First rate intellect and first-rate temperament my a$$.
Isn't it racist for him to talk about hangings?
and in the spirit of ‘bi-partisanship’, I’d add that Clinton was famous for “I feel your pain.”
He may go down in history as the dumbest President ever. Man doesn’t have a clue what he is doing and it is beginning to show. To laugh while discussing the economic crises shows someone totally out of touch with reality.
Furrin' leaders too.
I DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE TOTUS IS !!!
Such audacity. Unfit for the job.
Gonna have to watch this.
I have forecast since last November that he will implode from the actual pressure of this job. Unfortunately, that will give us President Biden. Big whoop!
Anyone else thinking of Dr. Hibbert after reading this?
“Before I learned to chuckle mindlessly, I was headed to an early grave.”
What does he care? He’s got his @$$ covered.
Memo To B0Z0:
Click the Pic
he’s just thrilled its all going according to plan.
he is laughing at the ‘pain’ of those that were making $250k or more.
since he has always had things given to him due to his skin color, he has no idea why someone would be able to make more money due to talent or their need to make more, as expenses in NYC are crazy high. hell, he didn’t even buy his own place... and michelle got a 200% raise as soon as he took the senate seat.
if i could say it to his face, i would.
screw you, 0bama. you and your smarmy pals aren’t get a dime
It's scheduled for tonight. Should be on right now eastern and central zones. We get it a little later in MDT and PDT.
Punch drunk? Lmao!!!!!!!!!
he’s drunk alright. drunk on his own power.
