It was touching to hear him talking about his favorite moments of the trip; good questions! I liked when he was talking about how he felt watching his daughters interract with Pope Benedict and how fast they are growing up. You could clearly see the pride on his face. It's nice to see fathers expressing their pride for their daughters. Great interview. I hope it's the first of many. Hey Anderson

I hope there are more such opportunities during President Obama's term. I was struck by what he said about slavery. Such injustice continues today, though we might call it something else - genocide, rape as a weapon of war, etc. He mentioned the situations in Darfur and Congo. These injustices continue, and we look the other way. I can't help but wonder if there would be greater awareness and action if media kept these stories in the spotlight - not just a one-hour special but a constant account. Good interview.

The sad thing is, the interview with the President has been so short. I expected more. Paradoxical if we think in time spent with Michael Jackson Excellent interview with President Obama.

President Obama's answers to questions about the impact of slavery on his family, is slavery still with us, and what lessons he tries to teach his children really impressed me. His intelligence, curiosity, and sense of justice and fairness really shine through when he answers those questions. Even though I disagree with some of his economic policies, I believe he is the right leader for our times. I am recommending the special show that will air this weekend to my friends and family. Anderson,
