EXCLUSIVE: Interview with 'President Barack Obama'

By Matthew Korfhage

Last night, in advance of his brief stopover in Portland for a fundraising event at the Oregon Convention Center at noon today, President Barack Obama did not get on the phone with Willamette Week.

Instead, Portlandia star and SNL's resident Obama impersonator Fred Armisen granted WW a brief but wide-ranging interview on the President's behalf. The interview touches on lonely Republicans, the case against Mitt Romney, bicycling, Mayor Sam Adams and something called "rush-hour traffic."
