- Doug Ross
Kroft apparently had a brief case of amnesia and forgot about a few mildly important issues:
◼ The increasing calls for Eric Holder's resignation and/or impeachment for Operation Fast and Furious, etc.
◼ The catastrophic failure of MF Global, headed by none other than one of Obama's leading fundraisers, John Corzine
◼ The "historic" $4.2+ trillion budget deficits thanks to Obama's disastrous stimulus debacle and the Democrats' failure to pass a budget for 1,000+ days... and more
◼ Obama makes his case for second term on '60 Minutes' - LA Times
The interview closes with Kroft recalling the speech Obama gave announcing his candidacy, and asking him whether he promised more than he could deliver.
"I didn't overpromise. And I didn’t underestimate how tough this was going to be," he said. "It was going to take more than a year. It was going to take more than two years. It was going to take more than one term. Probably takes more than one president. The one thing I've prided myself on before I was president, and it turns out that continues to be true as president: I'm a persistent son of a gun."
