JUST TEND THE GARDEN, CHANCE:

Kroft to Obama: Are you punch-drunk? (CRAIG GORDON & JONATHAN MARTIN, 3/22/09, Politico)

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.

There's a reason they try to keep him on a teleprompter.
