I remember watching a few totally supine interviews of Obama shortly before he got elected. One suck-a** interviewing Obama brought up a few things that nasty conservatives were saying about him. "Was that true what they said Oh Great Barack The Anointed One" said the interviewer (I might have added a few words). "Oh, totally false" said Barack the Anointed in as smug and arrogant voice as I've ever heard from any prez candidate.
It must have taken some giant tractors to pull the interviewer's lips away from Obama's backside. I think Obama gave all his interviewers a sheet with the questions he wanted asked. And then they had to look with awe at his mere presence deigning to give an interview to mere mortals like them.
