A Conversation from Heaven
In an interview with Newsweek, Obama
responds to the critics of his critics.
President Obama: “Has the level of love surprised me? Not really. People keep saying, ‘Oh, the press loves you, oh, the American people love you,’ and I say, ‘Fine,’ but first and foremost, I love me. I love me very very much. And that’s what keeps you going.”
We caught up with the First Couple on an Air Force One flight over New York City.
NEWSWEEK. So, does it still feel strange to be flying around on Air Force One, running a nation and a large auto company?

PRESIDENT OBAMA. Strange? No, not really.

NEWSWEEK. This was your destiny?

PRESIDENT OBAMA. Look, everyone is put on earth for a reason. I’m here to transform a nation and build a better mid-size sedan. Michelle is here to support me and help raise our children. You’re here to interview me. The American people are here to vote for me. We all play our part. This isn’t a “me” situation.
