PRESIDENT OBAMA: "I wouldn’t vote for the Barack Obama on Fox News probably."

[kpete]

* Recently President Obama chatted with actor Bryan Cranston - who stars in the upcoming HBO movie All the Way about LBJ’s first year in office, during which he passed the Civil Rights Act. One of the more interesting responses came from a question about how the President sees his own legacy.

BO: Oh, it’s very hard for me to engage that.

PG: You think it would be brag?

BO: No, it’s that there’s me, and then there’s this character named “Barack Obama” who is slightly different on Fox News than he is on MSNBC. I wouldn’t vote for the Barack Obama on Fox News probably.

BC: He’s terrible.

BO: What a loser! No, it’s hard to see yourself in that way. The one area that I do feel confident about is the notion of an inclusive nation, that everybody is part of this story. That’s a running theme I’ve been faithful to throughout my presidency. I’ve given a lot of speeches. One of my favorites is one I gave in Selma, and there’s a riff when I talk about what America is. I’m talking about Jackie Robinson and a ranch hand, about an immigrant on the Lower East Side and a bunch of G.I.s landing on the shores of Normandy. I love it because it captures the essential miracle of this country: all these pieces from every corner of the globe. It works in fits and starts. It’s messy, and it’s ugly. There’s sadness and tragedy. Yet something distinctive and full of energy emerges from it. And it captures the imaginations of people all around the world.
