CBS (60 minutes interview) to Obama: Country ‘Deeply Appreciates’ Your Restraint on Trump

CBS This Morning on Friday previewed Barack Obama’s “final network interview as Commander-in-Chief,” touting a clip in which journalist Steve Kroft hails the President’s restraint in criticizing Donald Trump. Kroft initially prodded, “You have to admit this is one of the strangest transitions in history.... Can [Trump] run an improvisational presidency?”

Not getting criticism of Trump, the reporter oddly insisted, “Look. I think that the country deeply appreciates the fact that you have not spoken clearly, I think, probably what's on your mind in relation to the President-elect.”

So, please tell us how much you really dislike Trump? Instead, Obama responded, “Well, the people have spoken.” Kroft continued, “He seems to have spent a good deal of his time sending out tweets.”

The full 60 Minutes interview airs Sunday night at 7pm on CBS.

A partial transcript is below:

Steve could use a little restraint:

Kroft: “Very hard playing golf with A bulge in my pants.”
Kroft: “I’m in my room at the same Washington hotel where I remember having you for a four hour full course Meal plus desert.”
Goines: “Mmmm…u whet my appetite.”
Kroft: “I hope that’s not all I’m wetting.”

Obama and none of the liberals give a flip about what is good for the USA. It’s all about themselves and their special interest.

If they don’t comply with President Trump, put them in a body bag.

I keep hearing in my mind The Obama’s, CNN, Corey Booker and the House Democrats, big Pharma and Merle Streep and Hollywood singing: “I fought the Trump and the Trump won, I fought the Trump and the Trump won...”

These media people are operatives of a foreign government, OR, a subersive organization within the United States which intends to bring the nation to its knees and enslave all of us. SHUT THEM ALL DOWN.

Ever notice how much his tweets bother the Left? If he were hurting himself with them they’d shut up and let him continue.

It seems like every speech he’s given in the last month has been labeled “Final” or “Farewell.” I wish he’d finish saying good bye and actually LEAVE.
