This is just a little bit of teaser politics to make room for a much bigger political post Wednesday on the topic of Citizens United v. FEC, but recently Obama decided to field questions from the GOP in their own retreat in Baltimore, Maryland.
In every single case before, the White House has chosen to ignore this retreat, but Obama chose to go and answer questions from House Republicans. It’s the closest thing to having “question time” like they do in the British parliament.
Political Wire describes it as “the most compelling political television I’ve seen in a long, long time. It should be required” and adds that “It’s really worth the time.”
It’s a video called on Youtube by both the titles “Obama pwns Republicans” and “Obama BEAT UP by GOP”, so it has to be good.
Here’s the video to watch.
Also, a funny quote from a different interview about basketball:
Lundquist: “Mr. President, you’re a left-hander, do you have any trouble going to your right?”
Obama: “I can go to my right now and then. I went to the House Republican caucus the other day. But there’s no doubt I have a stronger left hand.”

PS: Wednesday’s post is far more critical of Obama.
