Everyone should watch this. Even if you don't agree with Obama, you can't help but respect his willingness to go on camera and candidly defend his policies. He treats the opposition like rational actors that can be persuaded, even as they make claims against him that are downright offensive. His desire to pull the process up to his standard is admirable.
But beyond the values he's expressing here, this actually offers useful information about the decision making process and what his policies are. Which is really what this is all about, isn't it.
