The water would only need to be ass deep for it to be over his head.
LOL, even the Brits have noticed!
No more than any man who had never had a real decision -making job, had never sponsored a bill in the US Senate, whose career has been giving away other people's money through ACORM, who hangs out with unrepentant terrorists who had been preached at for 22 years to hate America, married to a woman who hates white people.... and was an admitted heavy drug user in college and afterward would be in over their head.
.... Like maybe he is in the Mariana's Trench over his head.
Is he in over his head?
Lord, I hope he doesn’t drown.
“STEVE KROFT: Are you punch drunk?”
Wow - Croft actually asked him that?!
Looking good for Biden, actually.
It is incongruous to talk of doom while laughing.
Another explanation could be:
He doesn’t believe it.
If you didn’t believe the doom-sayers and knew the economy would come back - then you could talk doom, a be a big hero when you save the nation from it.
The hard part is doing this with a straight face.
Inappropriate laughter can be a sign of addiction. The inner world and outer world—the “front” that is presented to the world—are so dissimilar that the person is sometimes amused, sometimes uncomfortable.
Obama, according to reports, is part of a long-running rape-orgy ring in Chicago, along with Michelle, Wright, Pfleger, Ayers, Dohrn, and other members of the hard-left, race-hustling establishment. A major part of the Weather Underground’s ritual mind-control culture was rape-orgies. That would mean Obama is a sexual addict—and that his pose as a “family man” with fairly traditional values is radically unlike his secret life.
That would be sexual addiction. Then there are drugs.
And of course, there’s the radical disjunction between Obama’s hatred for the United States, and his plan to destroy the United States, and the constant need to pretend, as “President,” that he is “trying” to improve the economy and make the country more prosperous.
This constant, high-stakes pretense would naturally result in inappropriate laughter now and then.
“I’m choking up with rage.”
Over his head?
He has months of experience in the US Senate.
I agree. Obama has not shope.
They actually AIRED this part of the interview? Are you kidding me?
MM
This isn’t good.
People with way more training are going to see this for what it is. I’d say he’s on the verge of breakdown.
Nothing in his life prepared him for what’s facing him, and he doesn’t know who to trust.
I’d say he’s pretty close.
A lot of laughter but this part was truly laughable:
I mean there were a whole bunch of folks who, on paper, if you looked at quarterly reports, were wildly successful, selling derivatives (CHUCKLE) that turned out to be—
STEVE KROFT:
Worthless.
BARACK OBAMA:
completely worthless.
STEVE KROFT:
And insuring them.
BARACK OBAMA:
And insuring them. Now— you know, gosh, I don’t think it’s me being anti-Wall Street just to point out that the best and the brightest— didn’t do too well on that front, and that— you know, maybe the incentive structures that have been set up— have not produced the kinds of long term growth that— that I think everybody’s looking for.
“selling derivatives that turned out to be ...worthless.”
If there is anyone that is the poster boy for creating toxic loans, it is Barack Obama the ‘community organizer’. He along with ACORN armed with the Community Reinvestment Act regulations provided the pressure on banks to make loans that without such regulation would never have been made. Those toxic loans were packaged knowingly by Freddie and Fannie and sold as derivatives that didn’t ‘by chance’ or by some other accident -’turn out to be worthless’ - they were worthless as soon as the packages/derivatives/insurance/CDS’s were created that included them.
Sure there were other community organizers that did the same thing around the country but Obama’s rep. was made in part by his advocacy of these policies and policies like them that created and continued these problems going back to his time in the IL. Senate. He epitomizes the ‘community organizer’ that help bring into being ‘toxic loans’ and now he himself is having to deal with them. This is almost as ironic as Nixon taping the oval office for ‘history’s sake’.
So these derivatives weren’t a part of some ‘risk/reward’ aspect of the free market - they were the result of gov’t intervention into the market and the toxic loans were the “Old Maid” that everyone was trying to get rid of, but in this case it wasn’t just one card in the deck, it was the whole deck or several decks of “Old Maids” - too many to dispense with. In fact they are still trying to pawn them off. And they want private investors to take on these toxic loans in ‘partnership with gov’t and yet because of the ‘tax anyone at 90%’ that has to do with the bailout, they are scaring away the exact people that could possibly save them!
No wonder he’s in the state of glee.
I mean you're a constitutional law professor.
BARACK OBAMA:
Yeah.
LOL!!! Sorry, I meant BARF!!!
Two weeks ago:
“Mr. President, you know, we can see that governing is just not your forte here. You can’t focus. You . . ., stop bowling for a moment, please, sir. Whenever the going gets tough, you get going in “your helicopter” or “your plane”. You can’t make decisions and stick to them. You are sending conflicting messages to Congress and your staff. You’re wandering the halls of the White House when you should be on the phone with legislators and world leaders. But, sir, We’ve come up with a new tactic for you. Your real strength is in communicating one on one with the people. We believe you can best enact your agenda by getting your face in front of the cameras and making the case for what we are doing. We’ll pack plenty of telepromters to accompany you.”
Now: “Mr. President, sir, perhaps we were a little hasty in our suggestion about traveling around the country talking up sociali . . . er, social justice issues. I mean, who knew that comedian would use a trick question about bowling? Who knew Steve Kroft would make you giggle? Who knew the California girlie-man governor would make you look well, girlish? Who knew you just can’t trust the media anymore. So we have another suggestion: come home, conduct various parti. . . er, events in the White House that are closed to the media and let Robert Gibbs do the press gigs. Just tell the public you need to spend more time with your family.”
He knows he is in over his head when goes into gales of laughter like that. This is Jimmy Carter II.
