Obama Talks Policy, Family... and Football

Posted on Mon, 11/17/2008 - 2:26pm by Ali Sikora

President-elect and Mrs. Obama were on "60 Minutes" this past Sunday. Barack talked a lot of policy, mostly about the economy but a smidge about Iraq. He was then joined by his wife as they recounted their recent visit to the White House, how the Presidency has changed their family (Best quote ever: "I don't tell my mother-in-law what to do. I'm not stupid. That's why I got elected President, man"), and the important topic of what kind of dog will be terrorizing the White House Press Corps next. Oh, and for all those wondering, he is in favor of establishing a college football playoff system. The interview is a bit long at 40 minutes, but totally worth it:

*UPDATE* This interview drew 24.5 million viewers... the highest ratings for "60 Minutes" since 1999. Damn.
