For Father’s Day, CBS News did an interview with Barack Obama. I’ll readily concede that it’s a Father’s Day interview so I wouldn’t expect profound musings on Iran or health care, but this was really kind of nauseating. Obama’s answers were all well and good, and from all outward appearances he appears to be a great father to his adorable kids, but do we really want to hear the President of the United States asked questions like, “Where did you learn to love?” Harry Smith seems as smitten as an 11-year-old girl interviewing the Jonas Brothers.
