In a Vice News interview posted on Monday, founder Shane Smith used the first of many softball questions to President Barack Obama to ask how does he “handle the controversies, the negativity” and whether or not he’s “a masochist.”
With subjects ranging from global warming to political gridlock to marijuana legalization, Smith was far from a tough interviewer and allowed the President to, without any pushback, bash Republicans, dismiss the midterm election results (again), and claim that the Iran letter by Senate Republicans is something that’s never done before to a president.
