It really bothers me that Fox News went out of the gate yesterday with the whole "N-word" nontroversy in Marc Maron's hourlong interview of the President, covering an excellent interview in a total distraction.

As interviews go, this one was refreshing in that President Obama wasn't really parsing his words like he does sometimes, he answered whatever was asked of him, and he talked frankly about the frustrations of dealing with Congress, mass shootings, and coming back from a nearly destroyed economy.

It's worth the time to listen to him unfiltered.
