eg. The President isn't obliged to do something simply because this is 'how it's always done'.

And 'getting through the interview' could have been accomplished much more effectively by simply stating, Bill, I am a Proud Liberal, like our Founding Fathers whose ideas and courage made it possible for you to have free speech regarding Politics, express your opinions, no matter how dumb, without the government knocking on your door. Well so long as you're not a member of OWS.

Is there something shameful about being a Liberal, and how would 'getting through the intervew' prevent him from making that simply statement, 'why yes, you are right Bill, I am a proud Liberal, like John Kennedy, among other great historical figures. Very proud. Btw, did you have a point, I don't want to miss it if you did.
