Al Roker and Barak Obama wave
Al Roker jazzed about Obama
In a major broadcast media coup, Al Roker scooped the first interview of President Obama during the walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. Roker, positioned along the probable walking part of the presidential parade route, shouted out to the walking President from the sidelines. Recognizing the iconic Roker (the mic and TV camera may have helped) remarked “It’s warm”. It was clear this was a momentous occasion for Roker who beamed that it was his first Presidential interview in 12 years of trying.
