My interview with President Obama

Hi! Recently, Matt Yglesias and I were invited to the White House to interview President Obama. You never want to waste a chance to interview the president. And so we wanted to go deeper than the crises and controversies of the day — we wanted Obama to detail the larger worldview that animates his presidency. The hope was to have a conversation that would be as relevant years from now as it is today. What we left with is a fascinating, wide-ranging discussion about Obama's theory of America's political and policy problems. You can read the transcript or watch the videos using the link below. Both include annotations and background information that we hope will leave you with a deeper understanding of how America's 44th president approaches the world.

Thanks, Ezra Klein Editor-in-Chief Vox.com
