Rev. Al Sharpton shares his thoughts on his recent conversation with President Barack Obama about the country’s economic problems.
MSNBC's Rev. Al Sharpton, host of PoliticsNation at 6PM ET, scored an interview with none other than President Obama last night.
In an interview that was taped for his radio show, 'Keepin It Real with Al Sharpton,' President Obama gave his reaction to the news that the congressional super committee had failed to reach a deal to cut $1.2 trillion from the national budget.
On 'PoliticsNation' last night, we played an exclusive excerpt of the interview, which you can see in full after the jump. The interview ran in its entirety on Rev.'s radio show today.
A fun takeaway from the interview? They talked about Thanksgiving and President Obama advised Rev. Sharpton break his diet and indulge on Thanksgiving. Obama told Sharpton, "let loose a little bit on on Thanksgiving Day, have some sweet potato pie." Sharpton agreed - presidential orders, after all!
