Obama on 60 Minutes: All GOPers the Same So Their Nominee Doesn’t Matter to Me (Complete Video)
President Barack Obama was on 60 Minutes last night and the big news tidbit is he claimed that it really didn’t matter who the Republican nominee was since they all think about the same and will be stark contrast to the way he see things. There will likely be commentary and writing about the interview, so rather than tell you what he said, here’s the report so you can watch it in full and make your own decision. The interview is about his record, his leadership or lack of it, his Presidency and the upcoming campaign. This is in 2 parts and the web embed does contain the original commercials:

They all look the same to me, too, except for Huntsman.
If the Republican Party stumbles in its effort to annihilate itself and nominates him for President, Mr. Obama will have a real fight on his hands.
One reason they all look the same is that they are being forced by outside sources to chant the same mantra— all must be 100% against universal healthcare even if they were for it previously, all must be anti-abortion, all must deny that man can influence global warming, all must align with King Norquist on taxation, etc etc. No wonder so many good candidates who may actually have real solutions to the mess we’re in, refuse to run or are at the bottom of the pack.
The only time I can believe a Republican is when he/she has permanently retired from the public life, and no longer has to tote water for the old party establishment or the Tea Party.

I watched the interview. I agree with the President.
I can’t help but wonder just what it is people expect a president to do when the majority of the house will not compromise one bit and indeed expect the president to compromise everything. If the people whom voted for President Obama, will now not vote for him because of what an intransigent opposition is doing, or not doing, then they will end up getting exactly what they don’t want. More people of the opposite party habituating government trying to force their agenda without compromise.
The President has already agreed to compromise, to the point of angering his own party. No one can expect anymore compromise than that. If you want to end legislative grid-lock, then you must vote against those creating it, and, in this circumstance, that is the Republican party. No one else but the Republican party.
As much as people claim that Biden keeps putting his foot in his mouth, Obama’s quote of him is possibly the best campaign slogan the two could have:
Don’t judge me against the Almighty, judge me against the alternative.
The front runners are all running on the slightly same version of crazy, so I guess Obama has a point, sadly.
Although he does know that Mitt will give him a much better run, but why say that out loud?
