I sped thru the Obama/60 minutes program on Sinday night.

Didn't really pay attention....But I saw on the news highlights the comment from Steve Kroft to BO.

"Are you punchdrunk?"

What kind of stupidity is that? If I was BO I would have answered, "Have you ever had your taxes audited thru you sphincter? Just kidding, Steve-o!"

OH, call me a hypocrite, but I would not be so stupid as to make a comment like that to the POTUS' face. MY comments are just musings from a disgruntled citizen, but SK is SUPPOSED to be a member of the media?

Give me a break.

Again, I didn't vote for the dude, but the office does deserve a little respect and I thought that the comment was one of the dumbest I have ever heard any 'talking head' make to a president.

What an moron.

Well , Obama has taken a lot of hits lately, so I think it's a fair question.

Besides, it's guy talk, right?

Nope, It's BS.

I could see it done off camera or as a little fun and games leading up to the interview....
I think it was Bill O that had the dictionary meaning of the word and though I cannot get into SK's head, it was a a pretty stupid thing to say....

From the Merriam Web website...

1 : suffering cerebral injury usually from many minute brain hemorrhages that is a result of repeated head blows received in boxing and is typically marked by mental confusion, incoordination, and slurred speech
2 : behaving as if punch-drunk : dazed , confused

Kinda like telling the guy, "Man, are you all there?"

Guaranteed that two 'regular' guys would have given each other the stink eye and something would have been said about someones maternal parent.

I don't think Obama's ego is that fragile. This was an informal conversation.

This is fascinating. The same man who defends insulting the military of...in fact the whole nation of one of our closest allies...

...takes offense at a slang expression used in a interview that he admits he did not watch all of or watch what he did very closely.

Punchdrunk....okay..."meaning have you been hit so many times you are dizzy." Wow...I can see how that is insulting...

I would suggest actually WATCHING the entire interview instead of just picking out words.

I know BO could not have thought up of the new term for "War on Terror"- He doesn't write the teleprompter speeches.

WTF is it with these morons who think that by changing the words WOT to some simplistic wordage -it was Overseas Something Innocuous- that the world will be a better place?

A spousal abuser is still some bully that kicks their SOs arse.
Same with the 'combatants' at Gitmo-they are the enemy.

I guess the new word for presidential cabinent members should be changed to High Level Morons.
