60 Minutes producers: “Hey, we haven’t interviewed Obama in a couple weeks. How about Sunday night?”

If 60 Minutes was a magazine it would be in competition with Newsweek to see which one could put Barack Obama on its cover most frequently.

CBS News has the less than newsworthy story:

obama-kroft-60-minutes
We interrupt IHateTheMedia.com for this breaking news: President Obama will make his weekly appearance on 60 Minutes Sunday night at 7:00/6:00 Central

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.

President Obama agreed to sit down with Steve Kroft? They say that like there was any doubt that would appear. C’mon, Barack Obama would jump in front of a train if there was a camera on the tracks.

This guy’s been on 60 Minutes more than Morely Safer and Mike Wallace combined. When he leaves the Oval Office, he should join the program’s anchor team so he can interview himself every week.

He agreed to sit down with Steve Kroft. Yeah, right. Like they had to waterboard him to get him to cooperate.

  • "C’mon, Barack Obama would jump in front of a train if there was a camera on the tracks."

    Wait right here while I run down to Best Buy....

    • Can I loan you ten bucks so we can get two -- one for track mounting, and another to preserve the moment in pictures?

  • Barry can't make a decision... This email (excerpt) is floating around.

    Note: This update comes some 24 hours after our longtime Washington D.C. Insider first outlined shocking details of an Obama administration having been “overruled” by senior military and intelligence officials leading up to the successful attack against terrorist Osama Bin Laden. What follows is further clarification of Insider’s insights surrounding that event.

    _______
    Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?

    A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.” There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.

  • TWO WEEKS???

    What the hell took them so long? Have they been pissed off at him?

    • Especially when they edit out some of the questions that pissed off the muslim sympathizer-in-chief. Word is that obuma got upset when asked why it was alright to post pictures of dead Americans by not a dead muslim.

      • So another news outlet will bite the dust.

        Eventually, there will be no one reporting or interviewing this tool as he shuts off access to anyone that challenges him or asks 'difficult' questions.

        Do you think the lib media will ever realize how they're being played and get mad? I don't think they will, either. They're still in love with him.

    • Yeah: "Barry, if you were a tree, what kind of a good-for-nothing scum sucking liberal tree would you be?"

  • Who cares? Other than Andy Rooney 60 Minutes was a lost cause 20 years ago. I can't remember the last time I watched this loser of a television program.

  • more like: I have destroyed the ecomony, security, and welfare of the united states with your help CBS. Now it's time for your hope & change. Unemployment anyone?

  • I'd like to see them do this story

    60 Minutes: The race to the bottom.
    (A sad tale of sycophantic coverage and media fellatio.)
