Barack: No More "Access Hollywood"-Type Interviews
Interesting little scooperoo in that "Today" interview with Mr. Presumptive Nominee this morning. Matt got around to asking him about that curious interview with "Access Hollywood" - of all places - in which the Butte-vacationing family sits down, talks about all sorts of stuff, including the procurement of a dog when they move into the White House. 'Twas taped on the fourth. Unbeknownst to me - until Matt explained - the interview had "raised eyebrows," or raised something. Maybe hackles. I just assumed it was another one of those pandering interviews that all candidates do to reach voting soccer moms, or such like. In any event, O said no mas. Those type of interviews - with his kids, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, paraded before the world - are over forever. He said they got "caught up in the moment" at a birthday party. (Sure! I believe that...Don't you?) "We wouldn't be doing do it again," said the PN of future interviews like this. "We won't do it again."
