'I didn't overpromise': Obama à 60 minutes (CBS)
Entrevue du Président à la célèbre émission.
Un extrait:
"“I didn’t overpromise. And I didn’t underestimate how tough this was going to be,” Obama said in the sitdown with CBS News’s Steve Kroft that was conducted on two days this week, in Washington and also in Osawatomie, Kan., where the president on Tuesday delivered a speech calling this a “make-or-break moment” for working and middle class Americans.
The vision he offered in 2008 was something he “always believed … was a long-term project,” Obama told Kroft. “Reversing a culture here in Washington, dominated by special interests, it was going to take more than a year, it was going to take more than two years. It was going to take more than one term.”
He also acknowledged something he’s rarely said, that it “probably takes more than one president” to affect the kind of change he speaks about, but he, nonetheless, intends to keep fighting for it.
“I’m a persistent son of a gun. I just stay at it. And I’m just going to keep on staying at it, as long as I’m in this office. And we’re going to get it right. And America will succeed. I am absolutely confident about that.”
Even though he faces a steady stream of attacks, Obama said he never seriously considered not running for reelection. The first lady, who was resistant to his running in the first place, “reminds me, ‘You volunteered for this thing.’”
But he can’t imagine not trying for a second term “not because our quality of life might not be better if I were not president. Not because Michelle is so enamored with me being president. But because we both think that what we’re doing is really important for a lot of people out there.”"
