Hillary Clinton And Obama “60 Minutes” Joint Interview – Part 1
Published on Jan 27, 2013
President Obama sat down for a joint interview with outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on 60 Minutes this evening.
Steve Kroft, who interviewed the president several times during his first term, asked the pair about a variety of topics, most notably including the administration’s response to the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
Asked why he decided to do a joint interview with Clinton, the president explained that he wanted to thank her for the job she’s done as his Secretary of State. The two also briefly nodded to their contentious 2008 primary race, which is clearly water under the bridge for both sides now.

Obama and Clinton talk 2016 race on ’60 Minutes’
by Phillip Elliott, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama lauded Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton as one of his closest advisers and said their shared vision for America’s role in the world persuaded his one-time rival — and potential successor — to be his top diplomat while he dealt with the shattered economy at home.
During a joint interview that aired Sunday, Obama and Clinton chuckled as they described their partnership and stoked speculation that Obama may prefer Clinton to succeed him in the White House after the 2016 elections. Clinton is leaving Obama’s Cabinet soon, and speculation about the former first lady and senator has only grown more intense after a heated appearance last week on Capitol Hill.
Both Obama and Clinton batted away questions about future campaigns, but the joint interview — the president’s first with anyone other than first lady Michelle Obama — was only likely to increase the fascination with Clinton’s future.
“The president and I care deeply about what’s going to happen for our country in the future,” Clinton said. “And I don’t think, you know, either he or I can make predictions about what’s going to happen tomorrow or the next year.”

Thanks for posting. I didn’t get to see it.
Neither did I…so it was good to see it on my own post. You’re up kinda late….
And so are you! LOL!
I am a night owl….and a day person. Kinda makes for little sleep. Are you still switching from prose to poetry?
I’ve always done both, but now on my main blog – The Poet by Day -I’m doing only poetry except for an occasional review.
I must visit your other blog….I can not imagine having 2 blogs. You are a energetic lady.
Well, I think you are posting several a day on your blog. I have five blogs and post different work on each – most of the time – and one is more a magazine format. Poet is the only one I really do regularly.
Five blogs….now I am thinking you are crazy as well as interesting.
I am crazy! it’s the only way to have fun.
Crazy fun….at 3 AM…..and I am hungry. For steak & wine.
… and you should probably delete our crazy conversation.
Only if you wish……
It’s 3 AM….and nobody reads this anyway….
Ah, you choice. I was just thinking that I don’t know how you feel about this long string of comments on your blog.
Well, seeing as I am enjoying this long string of comments…..and participating…I think it is OK.
I am playing with backgrounds for Black History Month
Love this photo of you too.
Me too! You can’t tell how old I am …
Old……nobody is old….just seasoned…..like me.
Ha! Like wine …
Yes like fine wine….or a good aged steak.
Now I am hungry…and thirsty.
