60 minutes tonight features a three segment interview with Barack & Michelle Obama. as i watched, i actually turned it off partway through the third segment. Obama was vague about cabinet decisions, and introduced nothing new about his time immediately after becoming president. it made me think about why would he be so uninteresting on 60 minutes, a fairly well viewed show?
I came to the conclusion that it must be a very awkward time to do interviews for Obama. He is not president yet, so he doesn't have any control, so when discussing policy, he still has the same material from the campaign trail. so theres nothing new there. furthermore, any decisions about his cabinet, he's obviously not going to discuss in detail, so he's limited in his speaking on that topic too. Overall, right now, he's just getting briefed about security info, and finding cabinet members, so theres not a whole lot of things to say in a big interview. in conclusion, i wonder why 60 minutes picked to do such a comprehensive interview at this stage in Obama's presidency? wouldn't they have realized there wouldn't be anything new to discuss?
