Obama to give six television news interviews on Monday as Syria vote looms

WASHINGTON | Sat Sep 7, 2013 3:35pm EDT

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama will give interviews on Monday to the three network news anchors, as well as to anchors from PBS, CNN, and Fox, more evidence of a "full court press" strategy ahead of pivotal congressional votes on military strikes in Syria.

The interviews will be taped on Monday afternoon and will air during each network's Monday evening news broadcast, the White House said.

By their acts, shall we know them!

Obama has never shown such fire in the belly for more progressive causes like a public option. And remember that, through his minions, he even maligned the base that 'brung him' .. as the late, great Molly Ivins would have said. From his choice of advisors and cabinet members to his cat food commission, to his proposal of a chained CPI for SS, to his drones, to his lies about NSA, to his treatment of whistleblowers, to his line in the sand... he is showing his true passions.
