NPR has the article Transcript: President Obama’s Full NPR Interview On Iran Nuclear Deal. You’ll have to want to find out what the President said, and watch the video, because I am not going to give you any snappy excerpts from the video that let’s you go away thinking you have actually learned something.

NPR’s interview with President Obama focuses on the pact the U.S. and allied nations recently negotiated with Iran. The framework requires the nation to reduce its nuclear capacity in exchange for the lifting of some international sanctions.

Below is a window in which YouTube will display the video.  The video is not coming from me or this blog.

I did find the interviewer as annoying as all media people are these days. I won’t give you the exact words that annoy me, because then you might think you actually learned something without having seen the video. I’ll paraphrase the type of dialogue that annoyed me. The interviewer asks a question. The President answers in detail with a quite reasonable answer. Then the interviewer has a followup question where he asks the President if he really meant to say the stupid thought that is stuck in the interviewer’s brain. The President then has to say that no that isn’t at all what he just said. The President then repeats what he actually said and what he actually meant. This happens a number of times throughout the interview. In fact there are probably few questions that don’t lead to this back and forth.

If you want to hear the soundbite that The Daily Kos trivially focused on, then go read their article. If you need a sound bite to entice you to see the whole interview, then less power to you.
