A calm, in depth interview. Great!

We could use more interviews like this, across the board.

Intelligent. Cordial. Somewhat beyond the bullet points.

Gives me a little hope for the state of mass media.

I missed it but I can't imagine it being anything less than "nice." After all, aren't those people in the press part of the Obama fan club?

What kind of hard questions did they ask? Did they get around to the tough ones like: "What did you eat for breakfast this morning?" and "Who usually cuts your hair?"

Seems like there was no time where I couldnt find him/ his wife or a Barack Obama supporter getting a interview. I mean it was one after another.... the majority of the media really wants to give him a boost.

Well I still support Hillary Clinton
Woot Hillary

When has Hillary ever been short on interviews?

If you were a news show, which would you rather book? Hillary Clinton or some schmoe who invented a new kind of kitty litter (or whatever other asinine guest most interview shows end up with?). The big-ticket candidates draw ratings. Every show wants both. Be real.

I watched the interview this morning. They asked him some pretty pressing questions regarding the Wright affair (which he answered to my satisfaction) as well as his opinions on various other more relevant political issues. On the whole I felt that it was a good interview. It even highlighted an issue where I disagree with Obama (his stance on ethanol, I felt he answered that question rather evasively), least one think that I stand behind and applaud every opinion or idea that comes out of his mouth.

Yup! They also asked him what color suit he was going to wear when he deliveries his victory speech when he wins the nomination. You missed a great interview.

Total puff piece.

Russert let him prattle on without doing his usual interrupting when he's not getting an answer or the answer contradicts.

Sounded like an infomercial.

Is there really any doubt NBC is in the can for him. First with Mathews getting all tingling in his presence and now Russert. Shameful.
