While I agree with you, I'm not sure if it's possible to nail that kind of
interview. There are always questions that people (on either side of the
aisle) want to hear that there's not time for, and levels of advocacy that
the interviewer may not want to exhibit.

One impression I got is that there's no serious question that the President
hasn't heard before. (If someone tries hard, they may come up with
something odd but unique, but it's unlikely to be important.) There were a
couple of times where he cited the criticism he gets from the left, and
then gave his answer to that. So I think we're necessarily going to hear
the canned answers just because he (or, we hope, any president) has already
considered the issue and has likely answered it more than once.
