WTF Obama

I've long been a fan of Marc Maron's WTF podcast, but I'm pretty sure nothing will top him having President Obama on as a guest. And while Obama was light & funny whenever he could, as always, last week's shootings in Charleston made for a surprisingly serious podcast:
Obama echoed comments in the immediate aftermath of last week's shooting, saying he's had to make speeches about a "devastating loss" too often.
"It's not enough just to feel bad. There are actions that could be taken to make events like this less likely. One of those actions we could take would be to enhance some basic common sense gun safety laws," Obama said.
Obama lamented Congress's lack of action on gun control and said "Unfortunately, the grip of the NRA on Congress is extremely strong. I don't foresee any legislative action being taken in this Congress."
