Oval Office interview with President Obama in

"I think it's fair to say that that helped to create the Teabaggers."
- President Barack Obama, November 30, 2009

THE BACKSTORY
How do you interview a President? We asked veteran political journalist and author, Jonathan Alter, on this unique art and get to hear rare outtakes from his Oval Office interview with President Obama in November 2009. Alter writes for Bloomberg now after spending nearly three decades at Newsweek magazine. He's interviewed every president since Nixon, except for Ronald Reagan, and we get to hear what comes out behind closed doors while on the record.
