Obama - Puch Drunk?
From the Politico, Kroft to Obama: Are you punch-drunk?
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.
The interview is Obama’s most detailed explanation yet of his view of the world economic crisis, and he makes clear that he’s afraid the nation hasn’t seen the worst of it – even invoking the possibility of a “depression” if a series of financial institutions collapse all at once.
Well, what is it Mr. President “not as bad as it looks” or “the nation hasn’t seen the worst of it?”
There goes the market plunge for Monday morning! Thanks Mr. President. More doom and gloom.
The President is laughing because he has bambozled the American people and is easily destroying our nation without any resistance. He can’t believe his fortune.
