Emergency work can be distressing but humor is a coping strategy which contributes to emergency workers’ adjustment to difficult, arduous and exhausting situations.

Humour enhances communication, facilitates cognitive reframing and social support, and has possible physical benefits.

So, do you think it is appropriate for emergency workers to joke about catastrophes which occurr on the job ON NATIONAL TELEVISION? Was anyone laughing during Katrina because it was stressful?

If he needs to laugh as a stress relief, he should do it where the world is not watching, because it is upsetting for those who are negatively effected by his decisions.

Those who are loosing their homes and their jobs are not laughing, I guarantee you that.

By the way, are you defending him?

Yep, and after the kind of crap comrade Obamavitch is being caught doing, he must sure be "distressed".

Impeachment is so stressing.

Obama’s “humor” is disconnected and inappropriate. His humor is more in line with a disconnected sociopathic personality than a healthy laugh and levity amongst friends.

Your post is an attempt at ‘humour’, I take it?

Enjoy your stay.
