Obama Defends His Presidency on ‘60 Minutes’: ‘I Didn’t Overpromise’

(The Blaze/AP) With rivals to challenge him in 2012 berating his performance on a daily basis, President Barack Obama made the case for his re-election Sunday, arguing that it doesn’t matter who the Republicans nominate to run against him because the core philosophy of the GOP candidates is the same and will stand in sharp relief with his own.
“I didn’t overpromise. And I didn’t underestimate how tough this was going to be,” Obama told CBS’s Steve Kroft during a 60 Minutes interview filmed during two sit-downs over the last week, one in Washington and one from Osawatomie Kansas. POLITICO notes the President’s remarks that aired Sunday:
“The vision he offered in 2008 was something he ‘always believed … was a long-term project,’ Obama told Kroft. ‘Reversing a culture here in Washington, dominated by special interests, 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.’
He also acknowledged something he’s rarely said, that it ‘probably takes more than one president’ to affect the kind of change he speaks about, but he, nonetheless, intends to keep fighting for it.
‘I’m a persistent son of a gun. I just stay at it. And I’m just going to keep on staying at it, as long as I’m in this office. And we’re going to get it right. And America will succeed. I am absolutely confident about that.’”
The president tried to write the narrative of how he is different from Republicans, stating that it voters believe in the GOP agenda of lower taxes, including for the wealthy, and weaker regulations then he will lose.
However, Obama doesn‘t think that’s where the American people are going to go, “because I don‘t think the American people believe that based on what they’ve seen before, that’s going to work.”
Obama argued that the two Republicans currently leading in the polls, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, represent the same fundamental set of beliefs.
“The contrast in visions between where I want to take the country and what … where they say they want to take the country is going to be stark,” he said. “And the American people are going to have a good choice and it’s going to be a good debate.”
He rejected questioner Steve Kroft’s suggestion that the public was judging him on his performance as president. “I’m being judged against the ideal,” he said. “Joe Biden has a good expression. He says, `Don’t judge me against the Almighty, judge me against the alternative.’”
Obama predicted the fight to the Republican nomination won’t be resolved quickly. “I think that they will be going at it for a while,” he said.
He described both of the top GOP candidates, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, as political fixtures.
Of Gingrich he said: “He‘s somebody who’s been around a long time, and is good on TV, is good in debates.”
“But Mitt Romney has shown himself to be somebody who’s … who’s good at politics, as well,” he said. “He’s had a lot of practice at it.”
Obama is counting on voters giving him credit for avoiding a second Great Depression, bailing out the auto industry and passing a signature health care law even while acknowledging that the public is hardly satisfied with the direction of the country.
He also listed such achievements as ending the Pentagon’s policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” for gay service members and the elimination of Osama bin Laden and other top al Qaida leaders.
“But when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do,” he conceded.
He rejected Republican criticism that his economic policies amount to class warfare, saying he is simply trying to restore an “American deal” that focuses on building a strong middle class.
In a major speech in Osawatomie, Kan., this week, Obama argued that even before the recent recession hit, Americans at the top of the income scale grew wealthier while others struggled and racked up debt. He also has called for spending on jobs initiatives and for an extension of a payroll tax cut that would be paid for by increasing taxes on taxpayers who make $1 million or more.
“There are going to be people who say, `This is the socialist Obama and he’s come out of the closet,’” Obama said.
But he added: “The problem is that our politics has gotten to the point, where we can’t have an honest conversation about the greatest income inequality since the 1920s. And we can’t have an honest conversation about the irresponsibility that resulted in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, without somebody saying that somehow we’re being divisive.”

After that he will do the only thing he knows how to do…community organizing. He will work to begin putting far left operatives into the government using the legitimacy of the president’s office to stealth these radicals into power. We must remain vigiliant..The American people made a grave error by electing this man he is a contaminant that will hurt America for a long time. We must remain vigilant.

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 10:24pmMost of the American population consider themselves middle class, that’s why Obama is trying to convince the middle class he is there best man, that is where the majority of votes are located! He learned that from studying the American political system, he also learned how the race card can be played especially if one of his race ever made to the oval office, he learned lots before he ever entered Harvard! It’s been a 30 year well thought out plan and process! So far they can say, “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” It is not yet completed, but close, very close!

Posted on December 12, 2011 at 1:26pm@phil65 – I concur, having served over 24 years in the military I have had the honor of serving under the command of some very sound and very intelligent leaders. Obama comes across as very guarded and manufactured, He just doesn’t seem authentic. I also notice that he seems off balance and confused when he isn’t getting softball questions. Only recently the mainstream media has starte asking more substantive questions but they still give him a pass on a ton of issues. For instance how can he call waterboarding (which US troops experience in SERE training) torture while at the same time being in favor of partial birth abortio and not saving a child that survives an abortion? Only a truly delusional person could hold both positions simultaneously and only an arrogant narcissist could proudly defend both at the same time. If Obama is so intelligent why doesn’t he release his college transcripts? Barack Obama has not released transcripts for his grades from Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law. He has also not released his SAT and LSATscores. Lets be realistic here, if Obama’s grades were outstanding logically he would want them released.

Or will they split likr they did in the civil war. Either way, I think everyone should get some info on one of thier state militias. They are not all racist and nazi. Most of them are good moral conswrvatives that want to be prepared. They have connections all over the country and if you belong tio them they will heko you all they can when tough times come.

And the Russians and the Chinese will have our highly technical equipment now. This president IS the problem,” Perry said at the ABC News debate in Des Moines, Iowa

Posted on December 12, 2011 at 9:12amYour right, he needs four more years without having to worry about re-election to bring down this country. We have not seen anything yet. Four years of unbridled Marxist policy awaits us. Are you listening?
Report Post »I‘m not convinced that if O does not win by hook or crook that he won’t seize power as a dictator. He is so close to changing this country, that I can’t see him stepping aside. The question I have is what will be the military’s response to orders? Will they be duped into seizing control for him?

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 8:24pmHe’s not just a socialist; he’s a full-blown marxist and he’s never been in the closet to those willing to look at him honestly from the beginning. Those who still support him are either part of the problem….or simpletons.

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 9:13pmActually, we are already lost. It’s guns and ammo time, come join us in Texas.
We will be the new Switzerland, all armed to the teeth. Tidbit; Switzerland was able to keep it’s sovereignty by ensuring that their people were ALL armed and ready (look for that one in any high school history book, this key piece of info will be missing)
We ARE all socialist now, and do not have the guts to take this country back by force, and we are now unable to take it back politically, as the debt is unsustainable and promises have been made that cannot be kept without converting slowly into a socialist Russia type country.

Posted on December 12, 2011 at 3:49pmI’ve been thinking the same thing. I wonder how long it will take for his nose to grow long enough to start skewing the lamestream media at one of his “wonderful” speeches? Seriously, I’m beginning to think that all Obama has to do is show up, not say a word, and start lighting his farts – the media will think he’s reciting poetry.

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 8:20pm“The problem is that our politics has gotten to the point, where we can’t have an honest conversation about the greatest income inequality since the 1920s. And we can’t have an honest conversation about the irresponsibility that resulted in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, without somebody saying that somehow we’re being divisive.”
—THEREFORE– we’ve got to suspend these pesky elections to get america out of this crisis.

Posted on December 12, 2011 at 12:08pmHe right we can’t have an honest conversation because that would mean Democrats admitting that Bill Clinton SUNK THE ECONOMY with his adtion to the grahm leach bailey act of 1999. It would mean that Dems. would have to admit that they blocked needed regulation proposed by bush because they wanted to get re-elected more than fixing the housing market.
