Full Video and Full Transcript Of Obama's Interview With HuffPost
I'm not going to say much here, but it's worth a read or a watch: Both options are available at the link above.
Highlights:
OBAMA: You don't hold attorney general nominees hostage for other issues.
OBAMA: I don’t expect to get 100 percent of what I want, but what we can’t do is go back to the kind of top-down economics that doesn't work.
OBAMA: And what we want to make sure of -- and we’re working with Tom Perez, our secretary of labor, to set a standard that is fair and that acknowledges the history of people getting paid their fair overtime wages.
OBAMA: Well, I had a chance to speak to Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday, congratulated his party on his victory. I did indicate to him that we continue to believe that a two-state solution is the only way for the long-term security of Israel, if it wants to stay both a Jewish state and democratic. And I indicated to him that given his statements prior to the election, it is going to be hard to find a path where people are seriously believing that negotiations are possible.
OBAMA: By hook or by crook, we're going to make sure that when I leave this office, that the country is more prosperous, more people have opportunity, kids have a better education, we're more competitive, climate change is being taken more seriously than it was, and we are actually trying to do something about it. Those are going to be the measures by which I look back and say whether I've been successful as president.
OBAMA: But I think the most important -- I'm very consistent about spending time with family. And when you have dinner with your daughters -- particularly teenage daughters -- they'll keep you in your place and they'll teach you something about perspective.
Thanks Obama!
