Obama admits on '60 Minutes' his biggest failure was not passing immigration reform | | President Barack Obama’s biggest disappointment during his presidency is not being able to change the climate in Washington, even as he has brought change to the nation. “My biggest disappointment is that we haven’t changed the tone in Washington as much as I
would have liked,” Obama said in an interview with Steve Kroft that aired on CBS’s
“60 Minutes.” “I’m the first one to confess that the spirit that I brought to
Washington, that I wanted to see instituted, where we weren’t constantly in a
political slugfest, but were focused more on problem-solving that, you know, I
haven’t fully accomplished that. Haven’t even come close in some cases,” Obama
added. Obama also said that not passing immigration reform was the ‘biggest failure’
of his term. According to Politico, Obama’s comments aired after he last week
said that, over the course of his presidency, he’s learned “you can’t change Washington from the inside,” but with the help of people across the country. Obama acknowledged
that he “bear[s] responsibility for everything, to some degree” including not bringing change to the political process. But, he said, “One of the things I’ve realized over the last two years is that that only happens if I’m enlisting the American people much more aggressively than I did the first two years.” Still, “change has happened and positive change for the American people,” Obama said, pointing to the passage of his health care law and reforms to the financial services industry, the report added.
