Welcome back, our top story today, the shocking announcement
from the White House, that president Barak Obama suffers from bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder is something the president has struggled with for most of his life.
After a three year long manic period of extreme positivity and productivity,
has now entered a deep depression. - Jane Kalmicheal is live in Washington,
and we also have Onion News Network, medical expert Doctor Simon Campbell.
Hello Glenn. - Hello.
Doctor Campbell, this has taken a lot of people by surprise this morning.
It has, Glenn, but if you look back at Obama during his campaign,
and his six months in office, you see classic manic behavior.
The extreme self confidence, the euforic, inexplicable sense of hope.
He'd babble incoherently for hours about change,
and the fundemental goodness, of the American people.
Yes. In addition he was known for frquently sending out rambling e-mails,
with subject lines like 'I am so excited', 'major announcement', and 'will you join me'.
This is not the behavior of a sain person.
Now of course the president's behavior has changed dramatically.
In fact we have a copy of the budget that he presented to congress yesterday,
which was not well received as we all know. And last week he proposed a health care plan,
that was nothing more than 'If you need a doctor, go see a doctor'.
Yes, when asked at a press conference if he
was going to further increase the national debt,
Obama replied, 'why would you ask that' and silently gripped his forehead.
Exactly, you can see it even in his handwriting.
Here's his memo book from his manic phase, and from his depressive stage.
And sourcers tell us that today advisors could barely convince him
to pose for his official White House portrait. All he had to do was sit there.
And he's deshevled, he's argumentative,
he walks around unshaven in an old stained bathrobe.
Yes, apparently the president has been spending every night on the couch,
in the oval office, watching re-runs of NYPD blue, until he falls asleep around four am.
He doesn't leave the room for days at a time, and reportedly it is just filthy.
Alright, we're going to have more on this. For now, thank you both very much.
Pleasure. - Thank you Glenn.
White House officials say vice president Joe Byden may step in to fill the duties
of the presidency, however that may cause further problems still,
due to My Byden's very public on going struggle with Aspergers syndrome.
Moving on now, a record marijuana bust, turned out to be mostly shwag.
Now the White House spokesman touched briefly
on the length of Obama's latest depressive episode. Let's take a look at that.
In between his time as a community organiser, and taking the national stages of senator,
there was a period of about three years where the president was deeply depressed,
unemployed, and mainly just spent his days sitting in his pyjama's,
playing solitaire on his computer.
