As usual, they say that at the break to keep you watching and then take forever when they come back.

7. That was a really great interview.

How soon before the freepers complain that he wasn't wearing a jacket in the Whitehouse?

I thought he looked great and has a really quick sense of humor.

Matt was showing him a picture in a magazine with the whole family and he said it was lovely. Matt then showed him the cover with just Michelle and the girls and said to him "It looks like Jessica Simpson took your spot" and Obama quickly came back "and it appears she is having a weight issue" in reference to the magazines headline for the picture.

I think he was thoughtful in speaking about our economy, he didn't whitewash it or say something asinine such as "the fundamentals of our economy are strong, Matt". He said we need to stop the sliding and that it will get worse before it gets better.
