                        　　Good evening. I’m Steve Kroft. Welcome to “60 Minutes Presents.” Tonight,
President Barack Obama looks back at eight years in the White House. His
successes. His failures and what he learned from his two terms as the nation’s
chief executive and commander-in-chief.
               
               
                        　　We first met him 10 years ago, when he was in his first term as a U.S.
senator from Illinois and launching an unlikely campaign for president.
               
               
                        　　As we said at the time, there had never been another presidential candidate
quite like him. His last name rhymed with “Osama.” And his middle name was
Hussein.
               
               
                        　　He was half black, half white, and in terms of political experience, very
green.
               
               
                        　　President Barack Obama: Steve Kroft.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: Hey!
               
               
                        　　We sat down with President Obama Monday afternoon in the State Dining Room
at the White House. It marked our 12th and final interview with him since he was
elected president. We began by showing him a picture.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: I got something I want to show you.
               
               
                        　　President Barack Obama: What do we got here? Look at that. I got to say
that I feel as if I couldn’t take this kind of Chicago winter right now.
               
               
                        　　It was taken Super Bowl Sunday 2007 on a frigid day on the South Side of
Chicago -- one of the last times he could walk a street without attracting a big
crowd, unencumbered by Secret Service or an entourage. It was a week before he
declared his formal candidacy for president.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: That was 10 years ago.
               
               
                        　　President Barack Obama: I think that’s right. That’s my mother-in-law’s
house, that block, I think.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: Nobody around, nobody. Nobody cared.
               
               
                        　　President Barack Obama: They didn’t. How about that?
               
               
                        　　He was an audaciously hopeful junior senator from Illinois, splitting his
time between his tiny apartment in Washington and the Chicago home where he had
two young daughters.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: What else does he make besides tuna fish?
               
               
                        　　Malia Obama: Chili, and that’s it.
               
               
                        　　His wife was a working mom, a hospital executive and major breadwinner in
the family. She wasn’t crazy about her husband being in politics.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: Has it put strains on the marriage from time to time?
               
               
                        　　Michelle Obama: Oh, no.
               
               
                        　　Sen. Obama: Absolutely, it has.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: But you’d let him go ahead and do this?
               
               
                        　　Michelle Obama: I think if I weren’t married to him, I’d want him to be in
there. So I don’t want to stand in the way of that because we have to work out a
few things. We’ve had those arguments and…
               
               
                        　　Sen. Obama: And I’ve lost them all.
               
               
                        　　It all seems like a long time ago.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: So what’s the difference between this guy and the guy you are
now? How much smarter are you than this guy standing on the street corner?
               
               
                        　　President Barack Obama: Well, let’s see. Obviously I’m grayer, a few more
wrinkles. You know I’ll be honest with you, Steve. One of the things I’m proud
about is that I think my basic character and outlook actually have not changed
much. And people who are closest to me will tell you that the guy who came here
is the same guy who’s leaving. And the reason I take pride for that is one of
the things you worry about when you’re in the bubble, and there’s all this pomp
and circumstance and hail to the chief is, do you lose touch with what you
thought was important and what brought you here? And I’m proud that I don’t
think I have lost touch.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: If you had to write a brief description of this job beginning
with wanted-- how would you describe the position? And what are the tasks? And
what skills do you think you need?
               
               
                        　　President Barack Obama: Thick skin helps.
               
               
                        　　Steve Kroft: Thick skin, stamina.
