From Hillary to Rev. Wright and Oprah to Palin, campaign manager David Plouffe recalls Obama's road to the White House. Host Greta Van Susteren. (Yes it is Fox - sorry.) She does a 1/2 hour brushstroke of the events leading up to Election Night. Lots of interesting details on what was going on behind the scenes.

________

Greta admits at about 12:35 that Fox News really went after Michelle Obama. 'We hammered her on our network....'

4. had to laugh at that

the actual video at YouTube was getting knocked -- all the Fox fans who thought it would be a tear-down piece and were disappointed. It did have a slant to everything that went awry, but that's news too and it wasn't over the top (although the Rev Wright thing seems like an eternity ago.)

5. I gave it 5 stars too, which is the 1st time I've ever done that for anything Faux have put on YT

Yeah, she was obviously trying to get him to dish some dirt but Plouffe is a master at dealing with such situations.

While watching this I couldn't stop noticing that no matter what's coming out of her mouth and even when she smiles Greta looks really mean and aggressive.

7. Very good interview

David Plouffe really knows how to deal with these kinds of situations. It was so obvious she was trying to find something negative to press him on, but he just didn't let her. Also from a non-partisan perspective Greta Van Susteren is just not a good interviewer.
