This isn't the first interview with President Obama by Reverend Al.

President Obama met with civil rights leaders including Rev. Al Sharpton and others on 2/21/2013 in the Roosevelt Room at the White House. They discussed issues critical to the African-American and civil rights communities

This may have been the first time Civil Rights Leaders were together with President Obama.

Reverend Sharpton has a great relationship with President Obama. I found the radio interview extremely truthful and revealing. The two should do this every six months to clear the air with media rhetoric.

The part of the interview/conversation regarding the upcoming debt cuts took place here. (click here 00:44 seconds begins the topic upto 3:01 minutes)

This is the entire interview. (click here) I liked it. It was not at all confrontational. They may as have been sitting at the kitchen table. I found it warm and informative. The President has a great deal of depth. He leaves no stone unturned. There are honest answers. No half truths. No rhetoric. I loved it.

On Thursday morning, the Rev. Al Sharpton interviewed President Barack Obama for his radio show, “Keepin’ It Real With Al Sharpton,” on what Black History Month means to him, rising out of the Great Recession, and the seriousness of the sequester.
