Obama on 60 Minutes, Punch Drunk

I wrote yesterday about Obama's pathetic interview on 60 Minutes, which will air tonight. More details are coming out:

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.

You know what gets me through the day? Pretending that there isn't a tittering nincompoop in the White House.
