If you missed 60 Minutes Sunday Evening, you can watch Steve Kroft's interview with President Barack Obama by clicking the video images below.

The President covered topics ranging from defending his Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, to telling Wall Street executives that they need to "get out of town" in order to appreciate the populists' perspective on why the American people are so angry with those that have received the TARP bailout money, to responding to Dick Cheney's criticism of his decision to close Guantanamo Bay.

The 90-minute interview began with a walk on the White House grounds and ended in the Oval office. President Obama said that some of the decisions that he is faced with are often a choice "between bad and worse." He said that the hardest decision he has had to make so far, was to send an additional 17,000 troops to Afghanistan.

Whatever your political persuasion, I hope we will all unite behind President Obama for the good of us all.
