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.

Both Frank Rich and Paul Krugman wrote scathing editorials about him this very weekend... I’m still in shock at that.
He doesn't much care for white world leaders, either, looking at how he treated the British PM and now Pres Sarkozy of France. Be ready for a wild ride.
I don’t see how it could be any worse and at least his wife is nice.
When the MSM turns on Obambi RAT Congress, which lives to suck upto MSM, will too!
” After that, who knows? Anything goes. But— typically— between seven and 10:00
I sort of know what I’m doing.”
You can’t make this stuff up.
http://www.politico.com/politico44/ lists TOOTUS’s ( a little pot, a little blow ) daily schedule and you can check previous dates.
A college slacker taking one course a semester has a heavier schedule than this glorified welfare recipient.
He never starts before 9:30 and many days there is nothing after noon.
Both Clinton and Bush were aware of what proper behavior was. Obama is only aware of how he has to behave in order to get what he wants.
Now that he has the Presidency, he knows that he could unzip his fly in the middle of a press conference, piss all over the front row of reporters, and they would have to figure out how to spin it in a positive manner.
Definitely!
Biden’s wife is the only one of the four that I actually could like. At least she always dresses nice.
This is a snapshot of insanity. I’m serious.
Kroft looked into the face of it, and came as close as he thought he could to naming it.
Amazing.
Clinton aware of proper behavior? ROTF!!!
He's your dog Charlie Brown. (Barkie the Mutt)
Mark Steyn is subbing for Rush tomorrow. If Rush can’t be there, Steyn is a close second.

I don't think Biden is the American hating foreign groomed Marxist that the O man is. He's a run of the mill American grown liberal. It would be an upgrade.
That is a very important concept that the McCain-hating "Lesser of Two Evils" crowd never understood.
So, here we are, dreaming about how great it would be if Hillary Clinton or Bill Clinton or Joe Biden were POTUS right now instead of the America-hating, Marxist Obama that is destroying America as we type.
Thanks for helping get Barack Obama elected, rabscuttle385. < /sarc>
“How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney?” Obama asked. “It hasn’t made us safer. What it has been is a great advertisement for anti-American sentiment.” Obama
That’s a flat out misrepresentation so bad I would call it a lie. We have narrowly escaped several attacks BECAUSE of the policies put in place by the Bush Administration! And what’s Guantanamo? You telling me catching and Jailing the Terrorists there is NOT justice? They aren’t out killing Americans and that works FINE for me. Keeping them in jail IS better than they deserve, but we Americans don’t support their form of justice, you know beheading people, chopping hands off, that kind of thing now DO we? Is that what the Administration considers justice… you know showing RESPECT for their culture right? Showing them we can be just like them, don’t hurt us?... sort of thing?
COME ON PEOPLE give me a break!
“He also acknowledges that the recession has grown more serious more quickly than he expected, particularly regarding job losses.” Oh I bet it tanked faster than you planned it would. You, Obama, who worked for ACORN the Organization that forces banks to write loans based on unemployment checks and food stamps for income, you know that one? That had hundreds of thousands of success stories… getting poor people into houses. Oops that they could not afford. You signed Porculus, you were part of the PLANNING of it. Congress has been putting Porculus for FOUR YEARS. You were in the SENATE at that time, brotha you are so deep in this poo pile even your halo stinks.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! The Fed just printed out 1 TRILLION dollars! Friday! That means the ENTIRE collective wealth of America just went DOWN by 1 TRILLION DOLLARS! That’s a football field of 100$ bills stacked 5 FEET deep! It was caused by laws written in Congress. The Buck stops there, and Obama was a MEMBER of the Party responsible for it! He is the second largest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Campaign donations! In only 3 years!! It took Chris Dodd 20 years to beat that mark, he was number 1 you see. ACORN Campaigned for, donated to and utterly supported Barak Obama, ACORN was started by Wade Rathke, and Rathke is an avowed SOCIALIST. ACORN is founded on Socialist philosophy, don’t believe me? Look here: http://web.archive.org/web/20010615002306/www.acorn.org/people%27s_platform.html and remember its gonna sound REALLY good, only thing is that platform has been used before, by the Nazi’s. Yea, following me here? America wake up, they are even now talking about ANOTHER Trillion dollar Bailout!!! Call your congress critters, only the voters threat to throw them out has any clout, only WE can stop this….. you think its bad now, just wait 6 months for when that 1 Trillion dollar printing on Friday has caused 20% inflation. Don’t make me tell you “I told you so”. Make your congressman or congresswoman, and tell them enough is enough!
Yes, Clinton WAS aware of what proper behavior was. Just because he decided to do something else doesn't mean that he wasn't at least AWARE of what proper behavior WAS.
Obama, OTOH, is below that level in that he doesn't even have AWARENESS of what proper behavior is. He just has no clue. The area is a total mystery to him.
Yes. Politico has the headline about Kroft’s question.
