I have not seen even a single interview. Hope I could. But I am going to see the highlights of these interviews through the link which is posted in here by a fellow commentator. Good info and web links. vitamin b12

All of them were horrible. I watched each one. It is too bad he was too afraid to be questioned on his views. Oh, well, Five free Ads for the President. Time to start another countdown, eh Chris?

@CRZ
Thanks for sharing the emptywheel link. It was excellent.

@Steve Krakauer

Alright so let’s do this:

Univision-
Total: 12
First question: “Is it the expanding role of the government or is it as Republicans told us that we are looking into trillion dollar deficits?”
Last question: “Will you recognize the winner of the next presidential election in November in Honduras?”
Race to the “race”: 2nd question.
Best exchange: Ramos- “Colombian singer Juanes will be performing this Sunday in Havana, but before that, he met with Secretary Clinton. Is your government supporting this concert and do you think that concerts like this and cultural exchanges between Cuba and the United States will promote democracy in Cuba?”
Obama- “Well, let me be clear. The U.S. government isn’t a concert promoter.”
(glad we got that cleared up.)

Here’s the first “better than Google Translator” transcript of Obama on Al Punto that I found: http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/2009/09/20/obama-and-john-boehner-on-al-punto/

“There’s no reason in the world to be afraid of going on and getting interviewed.”

You really think that Obama is AFRAID to go on Faux? I am glad he didn’t. He has nothing to gain– It would be like having a Hari Krishna trying to convert a bunch of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

And do you suppose that Chris Wallace- the one who said that because Justice Roberts bungled the swearing in of Obama he might not legally be the President–would ask any question that wasn’t about nonsense? Puhleeze.

Rbarnes, the reason I left it out is because we rarely cover Univision here. Also, I couldn’t find a translated copy of the transcript….

Obama too scared to face Fox News. Only wants to go to those media outlets which are in the tank for him. What a leader! ha ha
