Obama, Clinton share screen in ‘60 Minutes’ interview

Source: Washington Post

She was the chief rival in his first-term “team of rivals” Cabinet.

But on Sunday, outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton served as President Obama’s chief cheerleader— and the feeling for a half-hour of prime-time television was gushingly mutual.

The two smiled, bantered and chuckled like chums throughout their appearance on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” the first time Obama has been interviewed as president with a person other than his wife.

It was a performance, tracing with little turbulence the course of their relationship, by a pair of all-pro politicians whose public lives and future legacies are entwined. The message: This all worked out well, don’t you think?

President Obama44 elevated by President Clinton45 in 2018 for the US Supreme Court(like Taft)
then PresidentMichelle46 for another 8 years(2024 and 2028)
then by that time allowances for a President to run for another two terms non consecutive
so President Barack Obama47

32 years of the agenda of President Obama.

let's see that takes it to Jan.2037.

The two looked wonderful together tonight.

And I hope Hillary45 wins the noble peace prize next year.
It is going to be decades before there is someone as SOS half as good.

They seem to have forged a good working relationship. It was classy of Obama to suggest the interview in the first place.
