Courting Young Votes with Rolling Stone
Obama talks on
politics to pop culture
(AP) — Offering riffs on Mick Jagger and
reflections on race, President Barack Obama
capped a week devoted to courting young votes
with a Rolling Stone magazine cover interview
that segues from presidential musings on poli­
tics to foreign policy to pop culture.
Sounding an election-year theme, Obama tells
the magazine that Mitt Romney can't disavow
the conservative views he embraced as candi­
date during the Republican presidential prima­

too, is struggling against public skepticism be­
cause of the slow economic recovery.
The interview, conducted earlier this month
by Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, ap­

the last six months, I didn't mean,"' Obama said.
"I'm assuming that he meant it. When you're
running for president, people are paying atten­
tion to what you're saying."
Obama's answer underscores an approach
his advisers have been emphasizing lately, cast­
ing the race as one of sharp contrasts between
two distinct candidates, parties and ideologies.
He said his own political burden is describing
to Americans the progress that has occurred
during his administration and how, if sustained,
it could lead to economic security. "There's
understandable skepticism," he said, "because
things are still tough out there."
Discussing his relationship with the military,
Obama said, in the clearest terms yet, that he had
to rein in the Pentagon as he sought to close
down the war in Iraq on schedule and re-focus
the military effort in Afghanistan. He said that
