Laughing while the system collapses around him. Does he take it seriously. Maybe he should go golfing.
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.
It is nice to know that between this concern by Kroft and a couple over the past couple months, serious questions are being raised ... and it begins with these questions, and then media and others questioning their own economic/political purpose, and finally, criticism of programs and policies that are serious impediments to economical renewal.
