Review: Amazon should not be the place for political debate...

... however, when something like this is published and offered for free it asks for just that. This "interview" was conducted by a man who states in the Introduction that he learned all he knows about journalism from David Axelrod. Not much more needs to be said. These were softball questions, and offered the President yet another forum where he could denounce the Republican Party with no danger of taking a hit in return. If this was supposed to be a "let's get to know the President better" interview, then it should have stuck to those sorts of questions: where did you grow up? where did you meet your wife? what's your favorite color? You get the idea. If it was meant to be a political interview, then Blum should have been willing to ask some hard questions along with all the softballs. But, he just gave the President opening after opening to bash his foes with no follow-up for his accountability in anything.Overall, this just came off as a fluff piece meant to let the President boast of his background and "achievements", along with some whining time about the people who oppose him.I gave this a 2 Star rating because I didn't actually *hate* the interview. It was exactly what I thought it would be, a safe forum for the President to speak yet again about himself.
