What was supposed to be friendly territory grew heated in a CBS interview with President Obama that aired Sunday night, showing a contentious debate between Obama and a network correspondent.

In a wide-ranging, 24-minute interview that covered domestic and foreign policy, it was the Middle East that produced the most fireworks between Obama and '60 Minutes' reporter Steve Kroft.

Kroft repeatedly challenged Obama's strategies in Syria and against the Islamic State in the region, accusing the president of 'embarrassing' failures and a lack of leadership. Obama defended the U.S. mission in countries like Syria and Iraq and said better results will take more time.

The two men repeatedly interrupted and spoke over each other, although neither actually raised their voice...

When you’re a Democrat and 60 Minutes decides to ask you tough questions (as opposed to the normal tongue-bath), that is the signal that the scam that is your presidency is almost up.

For sure.

Children should not be put in roles of responsibility.


Obama is not a child and he knows exactly what he is doing.

People need to get a clue about this evil bastard.

Give Odumbo a break, he probably found out about his lack of leadership during the interview.

Nobody should be fooled.....Kroft was probably “performing” on Zer0 moments after the cameras shut down.

Does this little asshole really think that Russia is going to stand by and lose its Naval Base in Syria?

“Looks like Obama’s Big Girl Panties fell down at the mere thought of the Russians...”

In the US Media, of course, they are PRAISING his performance, as usual.

It must have REALLY rattled his cage, because the airdrop of supplies, under fighter escort, in Syria happened some hours later.

You could tell that Kroft got to him, and pissed him off. How DARE he talk to THE MESSIAH that way!! So he butched up, to try and save his man-child ego.

I think we have an answer. From within the hour, from Twitter:

Russian warships near #Tartus firing multiple missiles towards targets inside #Syria

Obama and the complicit GOP armed al Qaeda

Of this I have no doubt, and all involved should hang for it. Every last one of them.

Kraft better brace for blowback. Obama doesn’t like to be challenged and knows the network bosses.

Steve Kroft interviewed Obama like he was a Republican... That’s tough... tougher than anything Obama’s had to deal with in the past 7 years.
