Commenting about @federalreserve decision to hike interest rates, @POTUS tells @CNBC, "I’m not thrilled."

"We go up and every time you go up they want to raise rates again. ... I am not happy about it. But at the same time I’m letting them do what they feel is best," adds @POTUS.

“Now I’m just saying the same thing that I would have said as a private citizen,” says @POTUS, according to @CNBC. “So somebody would say, ‘Oh, maybe you shouldn’t say that as president. I couldn’t care less what they say, because my views haven’t changed.”
