I agree with all the positive comments made in regard to this great interview of President-Elect Obama and Mrs. Obama by Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes and I, too, thank 60 Minutes for the high standards which they continue to maintain. As for any negative comments, I will just ignore them. In a nutshell, I agree completely with Kimmo and others who write as she (or he?) has done.
Thank you Steve Kroft and CBS 60 minutes for a great interview. Barack and Michelle Obama are absolutely wonderful people and I have no doubt President elect Barack Obama will be a President which will move Amercia forward to be a great nation on many levels again. Had this interview been shown before the election even more people would have voted for Barack without doubt. To think there are people who would make unkind personal remarks against Barack Obama should step back and watch this interview.
Special thanks to Steve Kroft for letting us understand that the President-elect and the First Lady-elect are human like every other American. It is not the color of their skin that I see but the greatness of America as well as the values inherent in its diverse population shown by your interview. We need more of such about out leaders. I would like to end by saying this to those who are concerned about the color, gender, religious believes, or how people may differ. The greatness of America did not come solely from people who look alike but from the strengths inherent in the diversity of its population. So I say to every race: White, African America, Hispanic, etc, and no matter your religion or where your ancestors come from, as long as you are a law abiding citizen it is a blessing to be an American.
I have a great feeling about President-elect Obama. He and wife are fantastic and down to earth people.I know he''s going to turn things around. Good luck Mr.President!!!!
A terrific interview. President-Elect Obama is someone who is is clearly in touch with today''s issues. I particularly enjoyed the personal interaction between Michelle and President-Elect Obama and the openness of their affection towards one another. Loved it!!!
Michelle Obama is the quintessential egalitarian First Lady. She has her own mind and is fully grounded in what is the big picture for the first family. I love the dynamics between them and it makes me trust Obama more to know that he has some give and take going on with his lovely wife. They are a team, and I fully trust THEIR leadership. For though Obama is the leader of the free world, Michelle is the paradigm shifter for multi-tasking first moms. I know, I know, Hillary did that, but still, Michelle is unique in that she is the humbling influence of the first African American President, and she is also a scholar in her own right. Don''t be dissing on Michelle, for she is amazing and Obama''s rooting force. They''re equal, symbiotic, and lovely.
Give the man a break and a chance to work his magic. I think Obama will be the best president for America. He is very well educated and he has a wife who is equally, smart and educated. What a team. Finally the white house will have some color. For years the white house was occupied by whites and the blacks were the servants, now we are coming to stay but not as servants but as resident of the white house. This gives every child in any color and hope that one day anyone can run for president, you dont have to be white in America to be president.
Great interview. Steve and President-elect Obama were very relaxed and playful. I loved the interaction between Barack and Michele. They are real people. I am so looking forward to the next four years both from a political and a personal vantage point.
Michelle Obama WILL NOT let Pres. elect Obama get a word in edgewise! Before he thinks about his answer she''s already butted in and answered it. He just backs down. Chill out lady he''s the Pres. not you!
