Obama's 'gallows humor'
Without a teleprompter to read from, Barack Obama fumbled his way through the segment with CBS News correspondent Steve Kroft, but also exhibited a disturbing laugh when Kroft asked about the sagging U.S. economy.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review called Obama's performance "shocking" and more proof that Obama, the media-created celebrity, doesn't have a clue about the presidency.
From the editorial:
The economy continues to struggle. Americans keep losing their jobs. Politicians keep insisting we can spend our way back to prosperity. The administration proposes stealth tax increases. Wealth redistribution is far outpacing wealth creation. And Barack Obama is nervously chortling, one minute striking an optimistic tone and the very next talking of a new depression.Read the full editorial at the newspaper's Web site.
Can you imagine a similar performance from Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression? Or John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis? Or Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War?
