Chuck Todd: Obama 'Nourishes' Me (NewsBusters)

NBC's Chuck Todd on Thursday night found a new way to compliment Barack Obama. Politicking host Larry King asked the Meet the Press anchor if he "liked" the President. Todd quickly responded "yes" and added, "I mean, he's very easy to talk to...You sit there and have these off-the-record sessions with him."  The journalist enthused, "They're just very nourishing conversations."
