Barack Under Pressure

Charlie Gibson flustered Barack in an interview that aired on last night's World News. Impressive work from Gibson, who simply asked appropriate follow-ups, something few have the brainpower or the tenacity to do. By comparison, watch Katie's weak attempt to pursue Barack a day earlier.

Anyway, it's informative to see Barack's reactions when Charlie doesn't want to let him rewrite his prior statement on an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Equal Time

ABC News sends a signal.

In today's email blast promoting World News for tonight, they mention the Republican nominee. Oh, how they love to mock Fox News for using the phrase Fair and Balanced!

World News in the Middle East:
Senator Barack Obama continues his tour through the Middle East, meeting today with Israeli and Palestinian presidents Ehud Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas. ABC's Charles Gibson sat down with the presidential hopeful in Jerusalem for an in-depth conversation on the Middle East peace process and Iran's nuclear ambitions. We'll also have an interview with Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee.
