Barack Obama
Synopsis:
Obama on CBS’s “The Early Show”.
The Land of Lincolner tells CBS’ Harry Smith he’s looking for a VP who could step in to be president, help him govern and challenge him– someone who is not “a yes person.” Watch video above.
Also in his “Early Show” interview:
–Calls McCain’s attacks “disappointing” but expected: he “hired Karl Rove’s old crew and adopted Karl Rove’s old tactics.”
–Says McCain’s “houses” response shows “you’re out of touch, you don’t get it.” McCain “obviously doesn’t have a very clear sense of what Americans are going through.”
–Says his convention speech is not yet complete, but he has a good idea of what he’ll say. Compared to his splash-making 2004 speech, acknowledges “there’s a special moment there that we can’t recapture.”
