President Obama To Give ‘First And Only’ Interview On Bin Laden Raid To CBS’ 60 Minutes

» 22 comments

CBS News has announced President Obama will give his “first and only” interview about the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden to Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes. Kroft has interviewed Mr. Obama ten times in the past, most recently last November.

CBS says the interview will be conducted tomorrow at the White House, and aired this Sunday, one week after the dramatic raid that sent U.S. forces into Pakistan and into a dramatic firefight inside bin Laden’s compound, where the al Qaeda leader was shot twice and killed:

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 Navy SEALs – yielded not only bin Laden but a treasure trove of intelligence information retrieved from computer hard drives and other materials culled from the site.

    Look at that look of adoration from Kroft. This will be just another love in; boring.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    It was between Kroft and Jon Stewart .

  • THE REAL ROYAL KING

    I will enjoy watching this.

    I’m glad to see that there is not going to be a whole host of interviews on this topic.

    Neither one would be the lapdog Bill-o was.

    In other news CBS though its many operatives around the world has just illegally funneled $2.7 million into the Obama regime’s 2012 reelection war chest in a quid pro quo deal. In keeping up his end of this illegal deal………. ” President Obama To Give ‘First And Only’ Interview On Bin Laden Raid To CBS’ 60 Minutes “.

    Baraq Obama running the ” Most Transparently Illegall ” administration ever to disgrace the United States of America. Even blind people can see what’s going on here.

    Andy Rooney would’ve been good. “Ja ever notice how Bin Laden is dead?”

    Drinking game anyone??
    “ME or MYSELF or I”……take a shot!
    And if he mentions Bush or Cheney by name you have to take off an article of clothing!!
    Lets live tweet……and please let this not be a sausage-fest!

    Water-boarding = BAD?
    Two bullets to the head =GOOD?

    Man, this Obama likes to control what people think. There should have been a big press conference with lots of question. Instead, they want to shape what we think.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    Kroft will just say : No questions , Your Majesty , just tell us a story . You have 60 minutes , but the whole night if you decree !

  • Barack Must Go

    President Obama has…. by executive order has just officiallydecreed he has …. effective immediately …. changed the presidential seal of the United States of America to the ” Chiquita Banana ” logo.

    The president went on to explain his reasoning behind the change was to pay homage to his mentor….Hugo Chavez brutal dictator of Venezuela.

    I predict that next month he will make the cover of Vogue, Field and Stream and Gourmet Magazines.

    An ad as the Marlboro cowboy would be neat.

    I’m wondering if they’ll “find” information in what they captured of Bin Laden’s that makes Bush/Cheney look bad.

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Kroft: Mr. President, any comment on the news that Average Gas Price Poised To Hit $4 A Gallon This Week?

    Obama: Bite me Steve, I’m the one who told the Military it was ok to get Bin Laden using the intel we got from Bush. How dare you question anything else i do.

    Love can be fickle. Waking up with Matt and Merideth everyday, midays with Chuck Todd, and sweet evenings with Brian Williams have bored the President. Looking for new fresh faces to hobnob with, he moves on to CBS.

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    The lamestream socialist “Corrupt B-tards” at the C(ertified)B(iased)S(ocialists) network ALWAYS provide “You Lie!” hussein with the wettest, biggest, most loving A**-kisses of all the d-crat stooges in the media.

    If he gets reelected , Al Jazeera will get the exclusive . Of course , Jeremiah Wright will be living in the Lincoln Bedroom then and Louis Farrakhan will be the new Secretary of State .

    LOL…yeah, Bush decided to wait and give Obama the intelligence so he doesn’t fulfil his own duties as President. Makes a lot of sense there, dumbass! Has to be a bad month or so for you teabaggers. Becky getting canned, the long form BC being revealed, Obama getting Osama, you birthers getting mocked last weekend…..sheesh, I would be mad and bitter too. Guffaw.

    I agree. Sometimes events call for restrained dignity.

    Have you people ALWAYS been this stupid? What do you call a troll on a site that consists entirely of trolls?
