For the first time, President Barack Obama will have a joint interview with someone other than his wife, when he and Hillary Clinton sit down for a 60 minutes interview:
Per The Hill
President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will appear together in their first joint interview this weekend.
The president and Clinton, who is expected to leave the State Department within days, will tape the interview Friday at the White House with "60 Minutes" anchor Steve Kroft. It will be the president's first dual interview with anyone other than first lady Michelle Obama.
Obama and Clinton forged a strong working relationship over the past four years — and former President Bill Clinton played a vital role in Obama's reelection campaign last fall. But Obama and Clinton were also bitter rivals during the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries.

I think this is great news as if you look at the Democratic primary polling (yes, I know it is early)
Per January 10, 2013 PPP Poll:
Hillary Clinton's health has been in the news a lot over the last month but it hasn't changed the desire Americans are feeling for her to be President in 2016. Our newest national poll finds Clinton with a wide lead both among Democratic primary voters and against most of the big Republican names thought to be top contenders for their party's nomination.
57% of Democrats would like Clinton to be their candidate in 2016. Only Joe Biden at 16% also hits double digits. Beyond them it's Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren at 4%, Martin O'Malley at 3%, Deval Patrick and Mark Warner at 2%, and Kirsten Gillibrand and Brian Schweitzer at 1%.

....Hillary is trouncing all comers including Vice President Biden. Now I like Joe (who doesn't?) but the guy is too gaffe-prone and I really do not think that knowing the cloak room of the senate (McCain) or being Vice President (Quayle) is a strong enough base to run on. He and President Obama appeal to different groups. When I look at Deval, Cory or some of the younger faces of the party - it looks like they will wait and even if they do not, none of them have the name ID that Obama had in 2005..
Hillary has been a loyal soldier and I think this interview is a way of President Obama showing his intent to support a potential Clinton candidacy, were she to run. What do you all think?
