Scenes from an Interview

As the dust settles from yesterday's reporter-roundup with President Obama, the takes of several outlets in attendance are now on the wire:

• America
• National Catholic Reporter
• Washington Post
• From Catholic News Service... one, two, three pieces
• And from the National Catholic Register, a full multi-post roundup, with a link to the Italian transcript published in Avvenire, the daily paper of the country's episcopal conference, under the headline "With the Pope, a collaboration to help the world"
  

...and, well, everyone who wasn't invited has, so it seems, taken to griping about it.

On a related note, word broke late in the day that the President would nominate Doug Kmiec -- the former CUA Law dean and longtime pro-lifer/Republican operative whose support for Candidate Obama at last year's election infuriated many on the Catholic right -- as ambassador to Malta.
