President Obama to appear on "60 Minutes" Sunday

(CBS News) 

President Obama has agreed to sit down with "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft for his first and only interview since the killing of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

The interview, to be conducted in the White House Wednesday, will be broadcast on "60 Minutes" this Sunday, May 8 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

The president announced late last Sunday that the al Qaeda leader was killed during a raid at a compound in Abbottabad, which is close to Pakistan's capital of Islamabad.

The assault on the compound - carried out by a team of elite U.S. special forces - yielded not only bin Laden but a treasure trove of intelligence information retrieved from computer hard drives and other materials culled from the site.

Special Report: The killing of Osama bin Laden

While Obama wrings every bit of political purchase out of Bin Laden's death with his sideshow (to use his own word) of public appearances, I will continue to pray for those who lost their lives on 9/11, and all those who have died since in the "war on terror;" I will do so with the same reverent respect that President Bush has shown all along for this country and our servicemen.

Get ready for a "this is my body, this is my blood" service, along with the biggest puff piece you've ever seen.

All praise the big liar, you know.

@MarineVet64 - stand down and do some research before you run your yap. You are a discredit to my Corps.

I guess the girls on "The View" were already booked up for the week.
Does anyone still watch 60 minutes?

[molkehii]

@MarineVet64 - is that what they old you when you asked them? Smart people do their own research, think for themselves, don't flaunt their service like it grants credibility and certainly don't carry water!

Who watches 60 minutes anymore?

[CBSTV]

@ welovetheUSA:

The broadcast's ratings rank in the top 10.

Full campaign mode. What about that laser focus on jobs or the economy or the out of control spending? Guess campaigning and raising a billion dollars is more important. Frankly I would be more impressed if he donated that billion to reducing the national debt.

Its pretty obvious now that the media believes that this event is the ticket to Obama's re-election. Its going to be a two year love fest for the press while the rest of us suffer.

@marineVet64 - belay that garbage. Patritoism is for country, you are a sorry excuse for a syncophant, your oath is NOT to any man! You are unfortunately proof that even my fine Corps takes a crap ocassionally.

When will the left wing media go to Michigan and look for the celebration from the American Muslim population celebrating the death of a man that killed fellow Americans. What? Won't happen, yeah because the Muslim Americans are crying over the death of their hero!!!!!

[molkehii]

@MarineVet64 - you are in no way conducting yourself in a manner worthy of the title of United States Marine!

As this whole publicity stunt unravels, he needs the week for his spin doctors to read the tea leaves and come up with his new script. We are in an absolute nightmare; with this man-boy-idiot at the helm.
