      Ametia says:

      What we saw was poorly edited. i think it was intentional to discourage his supporters. For the most part, PBO held it down with the stupidity of Kroft’s Rethug shilling.

        The entire interview was about what republicans are saying or doing. Good grief. Will a real journalist please step foward? Ugh!

        Ametia says:

        I think PBO knows how these cowards operate and gives them the interview just so they can showcase how utterly mediocre and studpid they are. He let’s them speak for themselves and keeps on getting up.

        SouthernGirl2 says:

        The President knows they’re ass clowns. Kroft always come with some type of bullsh&t everytime. Asking him if he is naive? WTF kind of question is that to ask a President?

    I loathe these mofos! They’re only looking for gotcha questions and sound bites. Journalism has gone to hell in a handbasket.

      Ametia says:

      You got it. a sit down interview with the POTUS, and this is all this joker Kroft can come up with? Who gives a shit about the Republicans? Interview them if you want to know what they’re going to do.

      Ask those muthafuckas what are they going to do about JOBS, the economy, healthcare… NO it’s all about tax cuts and smaller government for these clowns.

      Break it down for the fools, PBO. He sees the hypocricy and lackadasical journalism. And fuck the Rethugs, Kroft. It’s clear you’re working for them.

        SouthernGirl2 says:

        Just look at this jerk, Kroft. What’s up with the republican meme? Every word is the republicans….blah blah blah…..

        Ametia says:

        Some find it demeaning that the POTUS goes on a tv show. Well the networks are blacking out his appearances when he reaches a large mass of Americans.

        Keep doing it, PBO, don’t stop, because these jokers can’t control you when you’re out here delivering your message.

        SouthernGirl2 says:

        Well the networks are blacking out his appearances when he reaches a large mass of Americans.

        Exactly. They don’t want him getting his message out. But he’s always 2 steps ahead of these mofos.

        Ametia says:

        Ed Bradley, calling ED BRADLEY!!!!

        Ed Bradley would have totally ROCKED this interview. With two fine looking Black men face-face there would be SWAGGA and class for days, spilling out of the tee vee. BWA HA HA HA The crackas would have a stroke!

    Ametia says:

    I hate this guy Kroft. His questions are all about what PBO thinks about these GOP thugs. You’ll never hear these fools say they slipped on their promises, because they’re all liars.

      SouthernGirl2 says:

      I despise Kroft. Remember, during the primaries, he asked President Obama if he was a Muslim, like it’s a bad thing? I hate these racist ass people!

      Ametia says:

      No questions that addresses middle class or poor Americans, all about the big business and the rethugs.

      PBO hasn’t lost shit! It’s folks like you, Kroft, the media, and the racist baggers who have run amok and literally destroyed our country.

        SouthernGirl2 says:

        They don’t give a rats ass about poor folks. All they want is to rile up the poor whites against him and use race to divide the country.

      Ametia says:

      If you view the full version of the interview, you’ll see why we were so frustrated with the initial edited version 60 minutes aired after the football games. That’s the trickery and chicanery of the the media, to make us frustrated and not tune in to hearing what our president has to say. thus the editing and pushing the Rethug meme.

        opulent2 says:

        I noticed that it was heavily edited as well by the brevity of POTUS’ answers!! I was like WTF? President Obama does not speak in this way.

        Now, where do I get to see the full version?

        I thought POTUS was showing the pressure of the job, he seemed to be exhausted from just the mental energy to contain himself from showing his disdain for the queries and look Presidential as Kroft was being such an asshat!

    Who gives a fuck what the Republicans want, Steve Kroft? It is what Americans and this country need. And screw McConnell, Boehner, and the fucking teabagger.

    Bush took 8 years to run the country into the ground but mofos like Kroft kept their mouths closed and let him fk the country up.

    Ametia says:

    Steve, the GOPteabagger, water-carrier Kroft starts off the interview with a question for and about the Republicans. Surprise!

    Ametia says:

    All right, let’s get this interview going. Steve Kroft asked the POTUS if he thought he was naive. WTF?!

      SouthernGirl2 says:

      What did I just say? These ass clowns! You didn’t hear these kinds of questions directed at George Bush. See, they had no need to ask a white C-student if he was naive? But yet he got us into an illegal war, collapsed our economy and had massive home foreclosures. But there you go.

      Ametia says:

      Most of Kroft’s questions are crafted around the Rethugs. he’s doing their dirty work, but POTUS is too smart for this joker.

        SouthernGirl2 says:

        Indeed she did. And she was just a young girl but asking serious legitimate questions. There wasn’t any games played. She was trying to get to the heart of the matter. Goodness gracious, she should give American journalist a few lessons in journalism.
