The WTF Podcast with Barack Obama.

Just posted, streamable here.
Marc [Maron] welcomes the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, to the garage for conversation about college, fitting in, race relations, gun violence, changing the status quo, disappointing your fans, comedians, fatherhood and overcoming fear. And yes, this really happened.
ADDED: The casual interaction between the 2 men is a listening pleasure.

Does this mean the rest of us can use the N-word if we use it in the same context?

I think Rachel Geantel set the record straight.

How could this not be the first question here?

Such a shame that Althouse-types can't use this word.

It is a shame this man is our president. He can lie looking right into your eyes, he is divisive, and he is a race baiter. He can't be out of office soon enough for me, so that our country can start healing...(like they are in Charleston, SC, without all the thug race baiters like obamas right hand man...assharpton being there whipping things up!!)

Sorry, did not listen. After the past seven years or so I can not equate listening to President Obama and "pleasure".

But then I may put too much value on things like honesty and comity.

Marc isn't a surprising choice. Not only is his podcast popular, but he used to rant on Air America (you know, the radio network where you can talk about what you want for Bush, make the sound effect of a gun shot, and the media gives them a pass), so they know he is Obama friendly. If he went on Adam Carolla's show, that would be a surprise. Adam's calling BS on half of what came out of Lt. Gov. of CA Gavin Newsome in an interview means pretty much all politicians will be avoiding Adam.

Marc is a good interviewer. I skip thru his 10min rants at the beginning of each, but the interviews are always relaxed and free flowing. He doesn't get into his politics much during the interview. Not sure I want to subject myself to a love fest between the two. If Marc doesn't mention that he auditioned for SNL and is sure that Lorne hates him, Marc isn't being his natural self.
