This was a pisspoor interview and a waste of time for both of them.
Thank you for being the lone objective liberal on this thread.

I'd call it a success considering Chris Matthews didn't pin him down and try to dry hump him and also did an excellent job of hiding his erection.

Good point! The most dramatic moment in the whole interview was when Matthews asked Obama to sign his chest with a sharpie.

Well, some good did come from the interview.

1. Obama admitted that the government is so inefficient, outdated, and bloated that it can't even manage to put up a working website. Hopefully we will see those sound bites running in the next few election cycles.

2. HuffPo and WaPo both called out Matthews (and by extension Obama) for screwing the dancers. HuffPo actually said Matthews "ruined" the little girls' Christmases.

No connivance with the White House, no delay that isn't explained by the rush of applications, no unequal treatment as many progressive groups were also investigated...there were just more Tea Party apps investigated because there were more Tea Party apps submitted.

So far, the GOP's attempts to pin some kind of scandal on this presidency have all gone no where. But I'm sure they'll keep trying...let's see, something about his uncle. Yeah, that's got legs.
Because of people like Chris Matthews covering for him Obama thought he would get away with "if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance period". Obviously it's hard to dispute actual cancellation letters.

Not the first time you've been wrong.

I'll not even bother to watch this. I can just imagine the types of questions he asked:

"Mr. President, could you relate to us, with one of your favorite compliments that you've received?"

"Mr. President, which of the Harry Potter movies was your favorite?"

As if anyone believes that any right winger actually watched it as opposed to the snippet of a clip they showed on Faux News. Like clockwork, within five minutes of anything on Faux, a real credible and fact filled thread is started.

This is another reason why we can't have proper political discourse. People actually believe this and have no concept of actual US history.

Darn, I wanted to see the comedy show so bad but there was a conflict: Hubby wanted to watch the game, we were watching the weather channel to try and figure out if we were going to get a couple inches or a foot of snow and The Sound of Music was coming on. Obviously Chris was not at the top of the list: I think most of us were well aware the interview would be a joke.
