Last night, when I turned on the TV and found Bret Baier announcing an interview with Obama was coming up, I almost turned off the TV. The last thing I needed was to see another puffball interview with Obama where slow lob questions provoked well-rehearsed lengthy talking point pontification. Baier seemed a safe "conservative" choice for Obama--conservative, but not edgy or disrespectful--the kind of guy whose questions could easily be used as stepping off points for unbridled party blather.

Boy, was I surprised. Baier was as close to an attack dog as one can be while still remaining respectful of the Office, and Obama came across just pitiful. Baier got specific and Obama tried to reply in talking point generalities, but Baier wouldn't let him. Obama got testy, complaining that Baier was interrupting him. But the truth was, he was simply trying to get Obama to answer specific questions. Obama mostly refused to do so in the end--he is nothing if not capable of keeping on point--but not without looking totally evasive and/or uninformed.

Kudos to Baier!

I saw the entire interview too. Brett did well maintaining his cool, as Barry did his best to philibuster his way out of the time frame.
The important thing to note, was he actually agreed to the interview....... desperation to define his Presidency, with a health care plan that few want.

It was a great interview! Saw the whole thing more than once.

The Chosen One was really flustered.
I heard a lot of "duh's...umm's...and ahh's"
Sure is a lot harder w/out a myriad of telepromters surrounding you and a interviewer who has not drank the kool-aid huh Mr President?

A great interview is determined by how well the interviewer humiliates the interviewee? Odd perspective.

Here's the interview:

if the interviewer asks a question, and the interviewee tries to wiggle out of it, and the interviewer tries to keep him on track, how is that humiliating him?
