The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 6, 2010

This one was the most interesting so far, principally because the Prez took questions-- unfiltered ones, by the sound of it. And he sounded unusually frank and forthright, or to borrow David Brooks' words on Meet The Press yesterday, "they're finally getting over that communications strategy, which has been so blunt in public, but reasonably intelligent in private"

One producer's highlights:

11:44 am - When voting is over, it's possible constitution shld be amended to include Sunnis

12:10 pm - north korea declared tey have nukes, they counterfeit our money
12:10 pm - my father fought in wwii, I find Japan transformation amazing
