Q: What did you think about the criticism about Gwen Ifill writing a book with [Barack] Obama's name in the title?

Schieffer: I thought that was a little bit of a bad rap. All I know about this is what I've literally read in the papers, but it's my understanding, this book is still in manuscript. It hasn't even been set in type yet. She's about in the middle of it and, as it was explained to me, this is not a book about Barack Obama, it's a book about black politicians and the gains they have made in recent years, so I thought that was a little bit of an unfair charge against her.
