So please tell me, with these real problems, why would the president be snickering and laughing like a teenager?
With these real problems, how does the president have time to go on late night comedy shows?

The one who didn't lie us into a war, the one who didn't invade the wrong country and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people and funnel 3 TRILLION$$$ into the pockets of well connected military cronies, the one who isn't trying to eviscerate the Constitution on which our country is based? Yeah, that's the one. Any blunders O commits pale in comparison to the previous pack of foaming at the mouth mad dogs whose policies have plundered the treasury and plunged us on the road to disaster.

He cannot respond to people like you, nor should he. Just like Bush and Cheney only concerned themselves with the 26% of Americans who supported them, Obama should only concern himself, and the business at hand, with the 75% of Americans who support him, and tell the other 25% to **** off.

They are brain dead anyway, the effort would be in vain trying to win their support.

"Are you punch-drunk?" Kroft asked.
You left out Obama's rebuttal. Picking up ole habits from FAUX NEWS the masters at Spin eh?

Anyway here it is, just thought I'd help you out.

STEVE KROFT:
Are you punch drunk?


PRESIDENT OBAMA:
No, no. There's gotta be a little gallows humor to (LAUGHS) get you through the day. You know, sometimes my team-- talks about the fact that if-- if you had said to us a year ago that-- the least of my problems would be Iraq, which is still a pretty serious problem-- I don't think anybody would have believed it. But-- but we've got a lot on our plate. And-- a lot of difficult decisions that we're going to have to make.

If you watch the video in the OP's original post.....Obama's rebuttal is there and he is snickering like a 16 year old all the way through his rebuttal. Very Beavis and Butthead (I guess Barack would be Beavis and Michelle would be Butthead).

In these serious times, I expect a serious response from a POTUS wether they be Dem or Repub....doesn't matter. Seriousness does matter.

We have a buffoon in office.....not fit to lead.

Oh for crying out loud. The man was being pleasant during an interview. He has a sense of humor, something one is never supposed to lose. We all engage in "gallows humor" at times.

There is a growing array of things to criticize Obama on. That interview is NOT one of them.
