Steve Kroft says there’s a reason he asked President Obama a lot of closed-ended questions on last Sunday’s “60 Minutes.” “I have interviewed him before and you don’t want to ask him open-ended questions — you get long answers.” He tells Al Tompkins: “It is difficult to interrupt the President — it is not something I particularly like to do.
