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.

Let me guess that, as with Slick Willy, we’re never going to see his medical records.
I know 'we are up to the job'; but no question Obama is planning on undercutting OUR freedom. . .so as to guarantee his 'staying power'. I only fear what Obama already is and will be, up to, so as to insure his next win. . .and perhaps his next. . .and then 'who knows'?
We can undo this fraud; but we will need more Media; willing/wanting to wake-up here; and Dem Leadership and Party, in general; to resist Obama's self-fullfillment per his messianic mission.
Gallows humor? I’m sorry but I’m a nurse and when you get gallows humor it’s time to quit.

If Bush had done that....
I wonder how long the left media will accept this kind of insulting behavior from The One?
“It is rude and flippant for that loser to be LAUGHING when things are so dire in our country.”
Well, welcome to the here and now, folks.
I was ready to take to the streets way back when his administration was talking about raping us while we’re down:
“...never waste a good crisis.”
How’s that for sociopathic?
Heaven help us all.
The clips of his MANY instances of completely carefree laughter on Leno, strung together, was downright CREEPY.
This is spine-chilling stuff to which ANY American can relate.
Seriously? He is at Camp David AGAIN?
And people had the nerve to get upset at Bush taking a ONE WEEK VACATION?
Nero is letting Rome burn! This guy is a total nutjob, laughing at America while he lights another match, gezzz.

Cocain has consequences.
“we’re never going to see his “ Just fill in the blank!
I'll take Biden.
You know, I never cared for that song.
"Seems"?
You should read his (ghostwritten) books and listen to his recorded interviews from his Chicago days.
He's a virulent racist.
The suit is completely empty.
