Journolist Klein Interviews President Obama in NYT

 No news is made (interview took place before Damian Lillard's historic playoff performance last night so we don't get the former president's opinion on that..)

Content filler in the form of podcast passing. Not hard news, don't be fooled.

Tune in* if that entertains you and you've got some time to kill on-the-job later today...

* nyt.com The Erza Klein Show (06/01/2021 episode)  It's a good get;  Obama owes much to then-young Mr. Klein's fresh-faced ignorance of journalism ethics that allowed him to collaborate with  a group of non=trad journolists who banded together to help shepherd Mr.Obama's healthcare package through the late-night Christmas Eve Congress by ignoring media checks and balances that would have questioned what exactly was in that big package passed, so urgent that millions of American lives were on the line if it wasn't passed... He peaked then, Mr. Klein.  The money came pouring in shortly after.  Like with Nate Silver, a career was quickly made.  Nothing these men do afterward in te media will measure up to the early political triumphs in their careers.

But enjoy the podcast, if your walking the kids to the park later today, say.  I imagine they both enjoy lives of leisure now, Mr. Klein and former President Obama both. I suspect the latter, like with the Bushes, will enjoy being a grandparent now that his political life has drawn to a close.
