Thoughts on Obama's 60 Minutes Interview

CBS' 60 Minutes program interviewed President-Elect Barack Obama on Sunday night, asking him questions on a various number of topics, including the following:

- How he is preparing for his inauguration as our 44th President on January 20, 2009 and the transfer of command from Bush's administration to his own
- The current economic crisis the U.S is facing
- The problems hampering the $700 billion stimulus package and why we haven't seen any tangible results from that package yet
- How his life has been changed by the fact he is about to become the next President of the United States
- How the "first dog" search is going

The interview also included Michelle Obama as well. We also learn about the role Barack's mother-in-law played in his campaign (namely, taking care of Malia and Sasha while Michelle was out campaigning for her husband).

We also see Barack's views on whether the auto industry should be helped (yes, but not with blank checks) and why he wants to do more to help the homeowners during this economic crisis, as he feels they have not been helped as much as they should be.
