“It’s gonna turn my stomach to see DiCaprio mugging for the camera, asking softball questions, and blindly accepting any answer he gets, just like a real White House correspondent.”

“I don’t recall this sort of uproar when David Soul interviewed Jimmy Carter. Or was it Paul Michael Glaser?”

Harriet Isaacs • Homemaker

“I’ll watch only if Leo conducts the interview as the guy he played in

“I was fine with the first seven years of the Clinton presidency, but lately, it’s just degenerated into a shallow media circus.”

“Leonardo DiCaprio is interviewing the president? This year, I think I’ll take my vacation in one of those countries that has millions of land mines strewn about.”
