NYT Finally Gets Its Obama Interview


The New York Times is finally getting its sit-down with President Obama, Politico reports.

The interview, which will run on Sunday, will end a long standoff between the White House and the Times, which did not receive a pre-inaugural exclusive with the President as it had with previous administrations.

1. Perhaps that is why they have been writing like they had a stick up their ass.....

when speaking of this President.

2. He's gotten a lot of big, wet kisses on the mouth from the opinon page. nt

3. Really?

Perhaps that was praised earned?

Doesn't Krugman write for the NYT?

4. Why, yes he does. I'd consider his criticism less than a sloppy kiss.

But that's just me.

7. Don't forget Herbert and Rich. Dowd recently has turned on him. nt

[Median Democrat]

8. Dowd Was Nice To Him? When?

I thought she was pretty ruthless in ripping on him and referring to him as Obambi.

9. Only when she wanted to make digs at the Clintons. nt

6. That's just freakin' gross..but

you knew that.

5. Interesting...I wonder

what the dynamics were that the interview wasn't given before the Inauguration? Actually this seems like a much better time with a little of the road under his feet.
