President Barack Obama said he believes the global financial system remains at risk of implosion with the failure of Citigroup or AIG, which could touch off “an even more destructive recession and potentially depression.”
His remarks came in a“60 Minutes” interview in which he was pressed by 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 asked at one point.
“Are you punch-drunk?” Kroft said.
Does this man look like he’s been punched repeatedly in the head? Is he slurring his words? Is there fresh blood dripping from an open head wound? Fuck no. So this man isn’t punch-drunk.
He’s fucking stoned.
How else would you explain his infectious laugh, his constant smiling, and his cheerfulness during this boring ass interview? Our President smoked a big ass blunt with the Secret Service before going on 60 minutes.
And why shouldn’t he?
He has the shittiest job in the world. He’s inherited a failing economy, two wars, rampant unemployment, falling housing prices, rising homelessness, and a Main Stream Media who’s trying to vindicate themselves over the shitty job they did when Bush was in office by reporting every goddamn rumor they hear about Barack Obama as fact.
So who can blame him if he’s a little drugged up? I can’t, because I know if I was in his position I’d be so fucked up on marijuana and xanax that I’d make Sloth sound like a fucking Rhodes Scholar.
