Excerpts from Obama 60 Minutes Interview

STEVE KROFT: When did it sink in?

MICHELLE OBAMA:  I remember, we were watching the returns and, on one of the stations, Barack's picture came up and it said, "President-Elect Barack Obama".  And I looked at him and said, ‘You are the 44th president of the United States of America.  Wow.  What a country we live in.”
BARACK OBAMA:How about that?

MICHELLE OBAMA: Yeah.

BARACK OBAMA:Yeah.  Yeah.  And then she said "Are you going take the girls to school in the morning?"  (LAUGHTER)

MICHELLE OBAMA:
I did not.  (LAUGHTER) I didn't say that.
