1. That is a great interview

Obama takes on his critics!

And some of his critics can't take that!

2. If there were easy choices...

One of the things that you realize when you're in my seat is that, typically, the issues that come to my desk — there are no simple answers to them. Usually what I'm doing is operating on the basis of a bunch of probabilities: I'm looking at the best options available based on the fact that there are no easy choices. If there were easy choices, somebody else would have solved it, and it wouldn't have come to my desk.

3. Awesome, Truman! Thank you for posting this..

Can't wait to read it..see RS has an article about "The Truth about the tea party". Wonder if it has anything to do with the Koch brothers funding their craven stupidasses?

Early in his campaign, Dr. Paul, the son of the uncompromising libertarian hero Ron Paul, denounced Medicare as "socialized medicine." But this spring, when confronted with the idea of reducing Medicare payments to doctors like himself — half of his patients are on Medicare — he balked. This candidate, a man ostensibly so against government power in all its forms that he wants to gut the Americans With Disabilities Act and abolish the departments of Education and Energy, was unwilling to reduce his own government compensation, for a very logical reason. "Physicians," he said, "should be allowed to make a comfortable living."

4. Excellent article/interview.

There is no doubt as to who is in charge of this country. We are in good hands with President Barack Obama at the helm.

5. I am so excited about this interview!

It is very well done, and he kicks some "Fox News" butt too. He seems to have taken off his gloves.
