I know exactly what Barack Obama is suffering from. It is just plain ole' nerves. The kind of nervous pressure that finds a relief spout with laughing (just a little too much). It's often seen in public, and at serious occasions. An example would be when my sisters and I would be in Church waiting for Mass to begin. It wouldn't take too much provocation to get either of us giggling...to the point we might have to excuse ourselves. I remember a case where one of my friends went to the doctor for a gynecological exam. She was a normal young lady. Yet when the doctor began to examine her, she started laughing uncontrollably. Was she mortified? Yes, but that didn't stop her from laughing like a hyena.
Why didn't Steve Croft help Obama out? Even Croft asked the President if he was punch-drunk. Perhaps CBS 60 Mins. should have edited the silly chuckling. If you just got laid-off, you don't want to see the President slapping his knee with laughter as he talks about the March numbers.
Obama should take a break from speeches and interviews until he regains control. This way, if Obama needs a good guffaw, he can do it in the privacy of his oval office. He can even ask his photographer to leave so there is no evidence of him leaning back in his chair,laughing his head off as new unemployment numbers come in.
