The President on 60 Minutes tonight , and..... [View All]

[FrenchieCat]

Croft (the 60 minute interviewer) was interviewed on CNN in the early morning (I pledge not to watch the show, but my television was on when I woke up this morning "magically)...and he said that Barack Obama was very agressive in a question that was posed to him about what Darth Vader Cheney had said about him.

Croft stated that he thought that the Prez would answer the question either brushing off Cheney (which is what he expected) or come down hard on Cheney. Croft said that he was a bit surprised that Obama not only chose the later, but how very hard he came down on Cheney.

I'm eagerly waiting for that part! :)

The interview took place on Friday night.
60 minutes was given 90 minutes with the President at the White House,
60 minutes in the Oval Office, and 30 minutes touring the place.
In addition, Croft stated that the President was the most relaxed that he had ever seen him,
in all of the interviews that he had done.

The interview is wide ranging from the topic of Afghanistan, to AIG, to his budget, and many other subjects.

They selected 30 questions out of an initial 125. But they didn't have time to ask all 30.

Croft seemed quietly impressed somehow.

The CNN Commentator was attempting to gently peddle the question as to why 60 minutes?...and Croft pwned him by responding because 60 Minutes gets a much larger audience than cable ( :rofl: ), some 13 million or so (tonight will be much bigger, I can assure you), and it is a different type of audience, many who don't follow the every goings on seen on Cable.

I'm looking forward to it! :bounce:
