As a general rule I only watch FOX News.I don't bother watching the other lame stream media outlets and as a result I missed the interview with President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton on CBS"S Sixty Minutes. I was able to watch this particular Sixty Minutes, segment on one of the various news web sites on the net and after watching the Sixty Minutes, segment in question I concluded I had just wasted thirty minutes of my life.Steve Kroft, even admitted that the reason the President likes to go on Sixty Minutes, is because he knows he's not going to get any gotcha questions.I thought the interview was an embarrassment for Kroft as well as for Sixty minutes in general this Micky Mouse, interview was a joke a first year journalism student could have done a better job than Kroft did. Mike Wallace, must have been rolling over in his grave!
I've heard of softball questions, but this interview conducted by Steve Kroft, bordered on ridiculous. Talk about using kid gloves, I've had more serious and meaningful conversations with my ten year old daughter! This interview, was so soft at one point I thought Present Obama, Secretary Clinton and Steve Kroft, were all going to start taking turns playing patty cake. This interview was a clear signal to the democratic base to nominate Sectary Clinton, for the presidency in 2016. President Obama,scoffed at his Republican critics when Kroft suggested, that many of the Republicans, felt that Obama, was trying to down play American involvement in various conflicts around the world. Obama, pointed to the successful transition of power in Egypt as one of his major foreign policy accomplishments over the last for years.This transition, is so peaceful in fact, that the United States, is prepared to give Egypt 200 military tanks at no charge to Egypt, to keep that transition of power going smoothly.
Both the President, and Secretary Clinton, acknowledged, that they both lived in a much more dangerous and complicated world and they should know, because much of their foreign policy has helped to make the world that way.When Secretary Clinton, was finally asked about the failure in Benghazi, that resulted in the death of four brave Americans, including an Ambassador Secretary Clinton, personally appointed and called a personal friend, Secretary Clinton said, the whole experience was something she deeply regretted and she should, considering her failure to read the cables her friend Ambassador Chris Stevens, sent for months asking for her help went unanswered and I believe as a result, led to his death along with three other brave Americans.I found her statement saying she regretted the failure in Benghazi, strange considering that just last week, she asked Senator Ron Johnson, At this point, what difference does it make what kind of attack it was on the embassy at Benghazi. All in all, I found this interview to by quite typical for both the President and Secretary Clinton. Sixty Minutes, has become a journalistic joke and with junk like this on the air it is little wonder why Fox News, remains number one in cable news coverage. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain just, some words, to think on.
