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:

Kroft, I once trusted you. Now I find you trying to CREATE negative news about the president elect. I will turn off CBS every time you appear.
my greatest hope would be that Obama opens his mouth regularly. Somebody on Twitter would evicerate him. Obama is not in the next guys league in every way.
Kroft is an arrogant liberal elitist who does not speak for the country. He should keep his biased personal opinions to himself.
“Can [Trump] run an improvisational presidency?”
Obama certainly could not, but Trump won the presidency against the supposedly most qualified presidential candidate in world history, never mind the most intelligent woman in world history, and had to fight the entire world.
LOL. ISlam is a religion of Peace....
Kroft needs to check his Uber White, Leftist Privilege.
Kroft could suck the chrome off a bumper ball-hitch.
The media is shameless. Ignore them president Trump.
Obama is so yesterday...no one with half a brain will be watching what this would be destroyer of the American Republic has to say or what this loser thinks!!! Obama is an idea whose time and fifteen minutes of fame has come & passed. Goodbye & Good Riddance.....deatbeat, failure and Rabid, America Hater, Barack Hussein Obama!!!
Yeah next it will be first interview of the first black president after he leaves office then the first interview of the first black president after he leaves office on valentine’s day/Easter/Halloween/Christmas etc..
Barf
Trump is Obama’s legacy.
That’s what really gets to him. Love it!
Trump has shown too much restraint toward Obama.
Liberal Liars 101. This is what they are asking for.
So glad Steve Kroft could take time away from cheating on his wife for this
interview.
This is a setup for later when Trump hold Zero accountable the press will claim, “All this, after Zero treated Trump so fairly.”
Once things start to click later in the month, I think it will be much more clear it won’t just be 4, but 8 years...
Watching muslim pigs attacking CBS and inflicting 1,000 casualties could be interesting, in so far as measuring how many survivors would condemn the attackers or bond with them.
I am no friend of Obama. But this statement by Obama surprised me in its clarity and recognition of Trump.
Obama responded, “Well, the people have spoken.”
The msm, demoncrats, GOPe, and RINOs, need to recognize the importance of what Obama has said. Two other examples, when Clinton called us “Deplorables”, and Obama called us “Bitter Clingers”, they were referring to about 50% of the population in this country. This is the same group that has just voted in Trump. Attacks on Trump are attacks on this group.
