CBS Promoting Obama on 60 Minutes



It seems like only yesterday that Steve Kroft and then President elect Obama were feeling each other out. Those were good times. The hardest question back then was whether or not the First Lady's mother would be moving in to the White House to help with the rearing of the children. Then, after Obama was President, came the financial crisis and light questions of punchdrunkenness. But even then Obama could plausibly blame his predecessor.

The pendulum swings. The tide has turned. Obama is at a low point in his Presidency after the 2010 Midterms. No doubt Kroft, a veteran journo, will ask the hard questions. CBS is -- smartly -- promoting the interview heavily.
