President Obama on "60 Minutes"
President Obama disses Dick Cheney, praises Tim Geithner and discusses America's anger at Wall St. tonight on "60 Minutes." On Cheney:
Obama fires back at former Vice President Dick Cheney's charge that his plan to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay and end the torture of terrorism suspects has made the U.S. less safe:
"How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney? It hasn't made us safer. What it has been is a great advertisement for anti-American sentiment."
Did the President accomplish his objectives in going on the show? Was he better here than on Leno? He's also pre-empting regular tv programming Tuesday night with another public address to the country. At least he's not avoiding us.
