Barack Obama to Michael Lewis on a Presidential Loss of Freedom: “You Don’t Get Used to It—At Least, I Don’t”

It's notable that Obama as the first black President of a nation founded upon slavery and white supremacy doesn't really discuss race at all. He did move a bust of MLK to the Oval office as Lewis reports. It's also funny that Lewis's Vanity Fair article on Iceland painted a picture of Icelanders that was a caricature if not racist. Iceland, like Australia and Argentina, followed some wise macroeconomic polices that allowed its economy to bounce back well after a financial crisis/Minsky moment. Lewis should do a follow up. It does say alot that Obama allowed him access. 

I'll be interest to see if he's on Charlie Rose and to read about Obama's decision to go into Libya.
