It is refreshing to see Obama answering tough questions about economic issues.

I wish Obama's supporters here would focus more on his plans, and less on bashing Hillary.

For the record, I have always said that I will support whoever is the nominee.

4. He dodged a bullet in this interview.

When he said some of his opponents had tried to paint him as a wild-eyed liberal, Maria Bartiromo interrupted and said, "You're not a liberal?"

He didn't answer, or even hesitate, just smoothly kept talking substance. Very wise, because if he had answered that he either was or wasn't a liberal, that little soundbite would have played for a newscycle, taking attention away from his economic plans. :applause:

This interview is almost a word-for-word regiving of the speech he gave in NYC yesterday. I'm thrilled the media gave more Americans a chance to hear it.
