Talk:Michael Smerconish

English wikipedia says, "As time passed, he also became more moderate about certain issues, saying his political views were evolving. In 2008, he shocked his Republican colleagues when he announced that he was going to support Barack Obama for president.[13] On August 20, 2009, Smerconish became the first talk radio host to broadcast live from the Obama White House, a show which included an interview with the President himself. The interview was held in the Diplomatic Reception Room, where President Franklin D. Roosevelt's fireside chats were held. The President took questions from Smerconish and his listeners on a variety of subjects including the recent debates on the pending Healthcare Reform Bill." That suggests his support for Obama was connected to his change in political views, and that it also was connected to his interviewing Obama. It has some relevance. And I used a reliable source this time, the Washington Monthly.--FDR (talk) 15:58, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
