> I listened to it. It was okay but I wouldn't say Maron nailed it. 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. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
