#11  3AM Sat morning. Obama pulls the sheet over his head and whispers, "It's Joe."

Had to be someone turned him down. Or several.

#7  23 uh's in 7min 42 sec, by my count. That's 3 per minute. He spent a good deal of his talking not looking at either the camera or the interviewer. So, what's he looking at? The temptation is to suspect a teleprompter. Either that or he doesn't believe what he's saying any more than I do. The question of what color dress Michelle was going to wear at the convention seemed to be the most interesting to both Obama and his interviewer. Maybe, because it was the only one not scripted.
