President-elect Barack Obama scored 60 Minutes a huge ratings win on Sunday – giving the show its highest ratings in over nine years. 

Steve Kroft spent the first 15 minutes questioning Obama about the economy, as well as his plan to withdraw troops from Iraq. The next two segments included his wife Michelle where the couple discussed their personal lives – including the much-hyped new puppy.  If you missed it, you can watch the video here.  

Michelle said, "The dog, the dog front? We're on-call mode on the dog front. Because the deal with the dog was that we would get the dog after we got settled. Because as responsible owners, I don't think it would be good to get a dog in the midst of transition. So when we settle, get in a routine, we think about late winter, early spring, we're gonna get the dog. Now, we cut that deal with the kids before America knew about it. So they're good with it."
