How cluless can one be? The President granted her an interview because he knows people will watch and it's a chance for him to get a message out. Furthermore, how would it look to people if he said no to the FIRST female head anchor in history of the big three network news if he denied her?
Bush is all about being COMPASSION and maturity (or did you miss that about him?)and showing he's not petty. It would be a missed opportunity for him to pass up this interview. The man has been President since 2000 and you don't know him any better than that? He hasn't changed...
So, you think that the President of the United States of America is primarily concerned about Katie Couric handles herself as a news anchor for SeeBS!?
Are you kidding me!!?
I think the point is ...
Bush does the interview because he knows everyone is watching it to see how Katie handles herself.
