<p><p><em>8:08 pm ET</em></p>
<p>Bravo to NBC News for doing separate interviews with President Obama (Savannah Guthrie) and Governor Romney (Brian Williams) on their education policies and philosophies.</p>
<p>There have been precious few interviews with the presidential candidates as substantive, deep, interesting, and far reaching as these on ANY topics all campaign long.</p>
<p>And what’s additionally great about these interviews is that they well illustrate a reality of Obama and Romney that has been largely masked in this superficial campaign: both these guys are policy wonks who can talk fluidly about many areas of public policy, including education.</p>

<ul>
<li>I reluctantly accept the reality that Bill Clinton is a huge factor in this presidential race and has a bond with the American people I never will.</li>
<li>I know voters have no idea what programs I would pursue as president starting in January and/but I have no plans to be any more specific before Election Day.</li>
<li>I resent all the criticism I get during challenging periods, and often am goaded into defensiveness.</li>
<li>I am going to make it through the entire four-year cycle of my presidential campaign without firing anyone of any significance, or even shaking up responsibilities.</li>
<li>I let my campaign constantly try to drive the news cycle by taking something my opponent said and brutally wrenching it from context — but find it outrageous when the other side does that to me.</li>
<li>I care less about super PAC spending than I used to.</li>
<li>I wish more political reporters were like Dan Balz.</li>
<li>I have a lot better chance to get the deficit under control than my opponent does if the voters choose me in November.</li>
<li>I would rather spend time with my wife and kids than do anything else.</li>
<li>Except maybe play around on my iPad.</li>
