CNBC's John Harwood sat down with Barack Obama today and POLITICO's Josh Gerstein gives us a preview:
Asked by CNBC�s John Harwood about perceptions Obama has gotten an easy ride from the press, the president called the charge �very hard for him to swallow,� but then acknowledged �generally positive� coverage. Also took yet another shot at Fox News.
�I�ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration�That�s a pretty big megaphone. You�d be hard pressed if you watched the entire day to find a positive story about me on that front,� Obama said.
�We welcome people who are asking us some tough questions. I think I�ve probably been as accessible as any president in the first six months�..I think that actually the reason people have been generally positive about what we�ve been trying to do is people feel as if I�m available and willing to answer questions and we haven�t been trying to hide the ball.�
