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.

The Audacity of Dope.
You can take the Suit out of the ghetto but you can’t take the ghetto out of the Suit.
Pop
Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes,
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me;
I stare hard at his face, a stare
That deflects off his brow;
I’m sure he’s unaware of his
Dark, watery eyes, that
Glance in different directions,
And his slow, unwelcome twitches,
Fail to pass.
I listen, nod,
Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,
Beige T-shirt, yelling,
Yelling in his ears, that hang
With heavy lobes, but he’s still telling
His joke, so I ask why
He’s so unhappy, to which he replies . . .
But I don’t care anymore, cause
He took too damn long, and from
Under my seat, I pull out the
Mirror I’ve been saving; I’m laughing,
Laughing loud, the blood rushing from
his face
To mine, as he grows small,
A spot in my brain, something
That may be squeezed out, like a
Watermelon seed between
Two fingers.
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine,
and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me; he switches channels, recites
an old poem
He wrote before his mother died,
Stands, shouts, and asks
For a hug, as I shink*, my
Arms barely reaching around
His thick, oily neck, and his broad back;
‘cause
I see my face, framed within
Pop’s black-framed glasses
And know he’s laughing too. *

Gosh, do you suppose he could be a sociopath? I do. He certainly hates whites.
I didn’t see this but in my mind’s eye I can see his attitude. He is a smartalec.
I managed to be able to watch a clip of Gibbs popping off the other day before he became tongue tied over honest adn reasonable questions about who knew what and when about AIG.
The issue now on AIG is manifold and it has little to do with AIG. I wonder if anyone with any kind of public position is going to point out that the issues now are:
1. Has the president lied about what he knew and when?
2. Has the congress violated the Constitution?
and nothing, nobody can stop him
_________
If he really thinks that he is delusional!
Dang!! I should have used spell check....MEANT GHETTO....hehehhe
And he knows exactly how. And he will.
____________
Not without a fight he won’t. His own party will turn on him sooner or later. He can’t fight us all.
will a noose get small enough to choke his pencilneck ?
For one smart ass to be offended by another, the other, as in ZERO, has to be popping off and giving a lot of body language and other non-verbal signals themself.
I won’t watch ZERO or even listen to him, I have trouble reading what he says because he is so full of S..t. So, I can only conjecture about how he behaved on 60 min (Something else I won’t watch)but in my conjecture... I think this will be poorly received.
Most of America doesn’t like smart asses and people who are without jobs, worrying about jobs and losses and costs and all that...should get pretty PISSED by someone who finds inappropriate humor in their painful condition.
The guy dosn’t have to worry about money. No matter how bad things get, he still gets his wagu beef and his Wednesday evening parties. He runs on the taxpayer’s dime, he dosn’t care where they get it, he’s got his.
What is SEG?
We can stop Obama from packing the Supreme Court, but ONLY if we flip Congress next year.
That is crucial.
We MUST do it, and the way things are unraveling for O right now, we just may have a chance.
Get -O
get it ?
I have to say in all honesty I would rather deal with dumber than dirt Biden, rather than the unmitigated evil of Obama. Biden is dumber than dirt as I already mentioned and I think if he to take over as president that he is a buffoon & a joke, and by & large he would be a figurehead president with a largely fractured demoRAT base that would be extremely PO’s over the removal of Obooombi. Which would be good for our side!!!
Thank you for explaining why you helped to put a Marxist in the Oval Office, Obama Girl.
“It is quite obvious he is not running the show.”
I’ve often wondered how often he reports in to George Soros.
Well there is that morning telcon that the Marxists run. I have no doubt that the WH and Soros are in on the details, if not on the call itself.

This was scrubbed from the internet. You Tube took it down every single time someone put it up. Watch closely. This video is grainy, it’s the only one I could find. He has tight jeans on and is showing the girls on the plane.
“impeachment would be good too”
Not good enough, as he needs to leave. Clinton was impeached but he never WENT AWAY!
