President Barack Obama recently sat down with David Simon, who is the creator of HBO’s The Wire, to chat about (as the White House puts it) “the challenges law enforcement face and the consequences communities bear from the war on drugs.”

The conversation lasted over twelve minutes and was uploaded to the White House YouTube channel for public consumption.

If the social media folks in the Obama campaign haven’t received their raises yet, I have a feeling it will happen soon.
