President Obama Sunday on 60 Minutes: Stimulus, Bailout and Gov't Expansion

Tells 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft People Thought Measures Were "Huge Expansion of Government"

President Barack Obama tells "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft the defeat of his party in the midterm elections was probably because the people thought his emergency stimulus and bailout spending was "a huge expansion of government."

He says he didn't effectively communicate that he believed the spending was crucial to save the economy and not an intentional government expansion.

The sit-down with Kroft, the president's first one-on-one interview since the Democrats lost their large House majority, will be broadcast on "60 Minutes" this Sunday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
