Obama Wouldn’t Talk to Newspaper on the Record

President Obama spoke to the Des Moines Register yesterday on a phone call which was described as “an incredibly informative exchange of questions, answers and an insightful glimpse into the president’s vision for a second term. He made a genuine and passionate case for our endorsement and for reelection.”

But for some reason the White House declared the conversation “off-the-record.”

The newspaper makes its endorsement on Saturday night.

Update: The Des Moines Register was now allowed to publish the transcript of the Obama interview.
