Special thanks to Diann Smith, Elanie Girlando, and Michelle Klobassa for operating our “B” camera during the Obama interview.

    Excellent job. I’m impressed that you were able to keep your cool during the interview with the sun shining in your eyes like that.

    Hey! Great interview and great way of hitting with the hard question! We also got a decent response from Obama.
