60 minutes interview with obama

Video:60 minutes interview with obama



In a wide-ranging interview broadcast Sunday evening, Barack and Michelle Obama reveled in their ability to achieve some level of normalcy again after the election, as they prepare for the enormous challenges ahead.

The president-elect said in a "60 Minutes" interview that he remains calm, but confessed feeling at least a little overwhelmed as he prepares for the White House.

"There are times, during the course of a given a day, where you think, 'Where do I start?'" he said during a session recorded Friday afternoon in Chicago at the Ritz-Carlton hotel.


Obama also said his conversations with past presidents suggest there is a "certain loneliness" to being president.

"'You'll get advice, and you'll get counsel," he said. "Ultimately, you're the person who's going to be making decisions. And -- and I think that -- even now, you know, I-- you can already feel that fact."

The broadcast aired before Obama and Sen. John McCain are to have their first post-election meeting, a session scheduled for midday Monday in the Loop.

The two former rivals are expected to be joined by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago Democrat who will be Obama's chief of staff.

The president-elect refused to be pinned down on when he will make his first Cabinet appointments, responding "soon" when asked whether he would make any this week.

He also declined to say whether he planned to appoint more than one Republican. "You're not getting more out of me," he told Steve Kroft.

On Sunday, Obama also formally resigned his U.S. Senate seat, as his transition team announced several new staff appointments.

Pete Rouse, a Capitol Hill veteran who ran Obama's Senate office and helped craft the foundation for his White House bid, was named a senior adviser, while Mona Sutphen and Jim Messina were selected as deputy chiefs of staff.

The Associated Press reported that Obama is also expected to name Greg Craig, who was President Bill Clinton's impeachment lawyer, as White House counsel. In Obama's debate practice sessions, Craig played the role of McCain.

Asked by Kroft whether he planned to put political enemies on his Cabinet, as Abraham Lincoln did, the president-elect responded by saying the first president from Illinois was a "very wise man."

With the economy struggling, Obama said the nation has little choice but to boost government spending and conservative and liberal economists agree.

something to talk about lyrics by Bonnie Raitt

something to talk about lyrics by Bonnie Raitt

Verse 1
People are talkin, talking bout people
I hear them whisper, you wont believe it
They think were lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe theyre seeing, something we dont, darlin

Chorus
Lets give them something to talk about
Lets give them something to talk about
Lets give them something to talk about
How about love?

Verse 2
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
Youd act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now Im convinced Im going under
Thinking bout you every day
Dreaming bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, lets really show it, darlin

Chorus

Bridge
Lets give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Lets give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

Chorus
Lets give them something to talk about
Lets give them something to talk about
Lets give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

xbox live update september 29

As Microsoft gears up to bring you the New Xbox Experience (NXE), Xbox LIVE and the Xbox LIVE page on Xbox.com will be down for 24 hours, beginning on September 29, 2008 from 12:01 AM PST until 11:59 PM PST. During this time you will not be able to access Xbox LIVE.

Note that this does NOT mean the NXE will be available on September 30th, this is prep work on the back end. Also, given their record, don't hold your breath for it to come up exactly at 11:59 PM. My personal opinion is that you can reasonably expect services to be up by noon the following day. For those with blogs on 360voice.com, their typical approach is to not count the 29th for streaks but streaks will not be interrupted due to the outage.
