President-elect Barack Obama and his wife Michelle
sat down for their post-election interview with Steve Kroft from 60 Minutes last night. Here's a quick look at nine insightful and entertaining facts we learned about Obama's immediate plans, the couple, their family and their first 10 days as the future first family.

President-elect Barack Obama and his wife Michelle addressed the economic crisis, transition, national security, his cabinet, and even the presidential pooch in their first post-election interview with Steve Kroft from 60 Minutes last night. When asked about Hillary Clinton, who is
rumored to be his Secretary of State pick, Obama said, "She is somebody who I needed advice and counsel from. She is one of the most thoughtful public officials that we have.

Barack Obama will give his
first post-election interview with Steve Kroft from 60 Minutes tonight alongside soon-to-be first lady Michelle Obama.
The interview will broadcast tonight at 7 p.m. EST/PST.

I don't think there are many folks for whom that 60 Minutes ticking clock opener doesn't prompt childhood flashbacks of a Sunday night dread of homework, baths, and bedtime. This is decidedly more fun: It takes the famous intro, the "I'm Morely Safer" part, and, well, imagines
what would happen if Rambo and friends showed up to contribute.
I can't stop watching it over and over.

This week Oregon is
holding a lottery for the remaining 3,000 slots in their state health care system. That's right: a lottery. While the health care story dominating the headlines recently is the Hillary/Barack mandate debate, far more shocking stories just like this are plaguing the U.S.
Andy Rooney is usually too grumpy for my taste, but I got a kick out of his report on the 132nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which aired as part of last night's 60 Minutes. Apparently Rooney attends the event every year and claims he's "never met a bad dog at the show," even though he can't always identify the breeds. I couldn't help but giggle at the visual of him checking out the cute doggies.
