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.

RE: “...It’s time we had a black president. Yea, the most incompetent lylng POS the democrats could find. I never thought I’d say this, but Hillary Clinton would have been a Godsend as POTUS. What a pathetic clown!!!”
*************
Agree — Can you imagine what Hillary is really thinking — circling the world doing zero’s bidding — far out of his way —while he carries on like a snotty kid on spring break? I’ll bet she and her people are sorry she gave up her senate seat.
I agree Clinton’s I think have a love for their country it is just a liberal love.
Yes, and at least Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, for what that’s worth.
No one can find any hint of what Obama’s grades were — nor substantial details of his days as a “professor,” et al. In fact, I believe the truth is closer to that he was a “visiting lecturer,” not a professor.
And what did he do as editor of Harvard Law Review? Probably nothing — a smart alecky beneficiary of affirmtive action programs his whole life is more like it. There, I said it — and I’m GLAD!
I have long seen him as nothing more than a half-minority rabble rouser — elevated by dirty Chicago politicians and other far leftists he has cozied up to over time.
I would be interested in reading it also, but does it make any difference for President?
I think you are going overboard there.
Re: “The few minutes I suffered through the show I noticed that the interview was edited, a lot.”
************
I noticed that as well and am well aware of how 60 Minutes ALWAYS edits every interview. Can you imagine what this thing was like BEFORE they edited out the most embarrassing parts?
Repulsive!
Re: “He’s hovering on the brink of a nervous breakdown....mark my words.”
**************
I see that, too. We need to keep the pressure on to hasten that conclusion to this obamanation!
I saw this last night. My impression of Obama first, last and always is that he is one cold man. There is no doubt in my mind that he is a sociopath. How else to explain such a man?
Re: “What a disgrace. No wonder he won’t unseal his college records. He’s a dunce”
************
I always questioned his brilliance — he’s nothing but a smart alecky beneficiary of affirmative action programs when they were in their heyday — the sixties and seventies. Heaven help us.
My mother raised no fools, so feel free to continue with your thin-skinned, irrational, insecure rants...but, continue without me.
Chow.
LOL. Don't let the door hit ya! Good riddance!
I just haven't quite figured out if it is because you think your reply was so clever [It wasn't] or if it is that you need moral support and like most bullies you all tend to travel in packs.
Whatever.
I'm wasting no more time bothering with you and your pack.
“Not nearly as bad as the epidemic of BDS, but the MDS virus is surely spreading...especially as some of the ‘carriers’ refuse to admit obama can and will do harm to this country that McCain would have never even thought of!”
MDS is when a person is unable to see the truth about McCain. You no doubt have MDS. It isn’t about what Obama can do, it’s ONLY about McCain. And make no mistake Mccain is an idiot ultra left-wing republican, and I wish you and he would go over to the democrat party.
I'm beginning to understand the lack of sense you nuts exhibit...you have NO comprehension skills, zip, nada, not a one.
As I have stated time, and time again...from the time McCain secured the GOP nomination, only Paul and Huckabee were below him as my choice for the nominee, but, when he became the candidate, I put all that behind me and did everything in my power to get him elected, elected OVER obama! Would he have been a great President, not no, but hell no...but would he have been a better president and less likely to destroy America than obama, Hell yeah!
Now, take all your ignoramus and wrong opinions, stuff them where the sun does shine...and don't bother me again with your dumbass assumptions!
You bore me immensely!
What strength in the face of adversity.
Couldn’t handle it.
Anyone remember the Jim Bakker fiasco, when he was carted away shuffling—complete with orange jumpsuit, shackles, and bawling his eyes out? Somehow that mental picture comes to mind as I ponder this dufus having a dissociative breakdown.
I wonder if Peggy’s Swoonin is still in luuuuuv with The Zero.
Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elder-r-r-r-ber-r-ies!
