Reminder: Obama on Meet The Press exclusively for the whole hour.

Not sure if it already aired in your time zone. But it is coming up in the west.

1. Here is hoping Russert won't cut him off and that Obama gets to say

what he wants. :thumbsup:

2. The good news is he is smarter than Russert so Russert trying to

screw him up won't work. Dont trust Russert at all.

3. Obama has a very calming presence.

That is something I like about him. He definitely does not get rattled easily.

4. Obama looked great and was very effectively parrying Russert's attempted gotcha questions.

At the end, Obama, in answer to Russert's question, said that Clinton could win as our nominee, but that we need to "create a new working majority for change" and to "transform the political process," and that it would be hard to do so with a narrow win next November.

5. He did a great job despite Tim trying to make the interview all about Hillary.

what a joke. The nominee, no matter who it is is first going to have to get past the media bias/sensationalism/ratings gotcha political coverage to have a shot at winning. One of the reasons why Kerry lost is because the media was clearly biased against him. Especially with the 24/7 swiftboat coverage, etc.

7. Obama held up nicely in the face of Russert's typical "gotcha" journalism.

Gobama.

8. Very nicely. Russert did focus on Hillary, but that is to be expected at she is current frontrunner.

6. Obama seems weak

Looks like he's speaking slowly and not very forthcoming with answers. Not really a strong candidate.
