CLEVELAND - President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, future First Lady Michelle appeared on CBS' 60 Minutes last night in an interview taped on Friday.They were absolutely gorgeous.
Obama, the first African-American elected president in U.S. history was asked numerous questions by interviewer Steve Kroft about pertinent issues, most notably the floundering economic crisis that continues to plague the nation. He mentioned that he'll do "whatever it takes" to get it moving again.
I believe him.
The wide-ranging interview covered other topics such as Osama bin Laden, the Obama's choice for a dog, Michelle's mother and F.D.R.
They even discussed college football.
Key topics aside, I was so struck with Obama's great chemistry and charm with his wife. Together, they come off as the perfect love story -- something of a modern day Cliff and Clair Huxtable.
How adorable!
Add their great rapport with one another to the two beautiful girls they have and you get the makings of a classic American fairy tale. Along with Obama's competence and drive, these are just a couple more things that America is lucky to have: a couple that is young, beautiful and genuinely in love. Politics and celebrity doesn't have to shatter a marriage.
They are living proof.
