• You’re so confident, Mr. President. And so focused. Is your confidence ever shaken, do you ever wake up and say, ‘Damn, this is hard! Damn, I’m not going to get the things done that I want to get done,’ and it’s just too politicized to get anything done?
• Katie Couric • In an “Early Show” interview with President Barack Obama. Originally, we were going to pull the quote in response to Couric’s more-hardball question about Obama’s vacation time (which you should still go to the link and read), but then we saw this and simply had to criticize it. Katie, you’re interviewing the president, not a Hollywood actor. The standard for question-asking needs to be a little higher than, “Is your job too hard?” • source
