Jann Wenner to Obama: Tell Me, Mon Comandante, How Awesome Are You?

Check out the creepy Rolling Stone editor's first three Qs in his latest Obama Q&A:

When you came into office, you felt you would be able to work with the other side. When did you realize that the Republicans had abandoned any real effort to work with you and create bipartisan policy?  

How do you feel about the fact that day after day, there's this really destructive attack on whatever you propose? Does that bother you? Has it shocked you?  

What do you think the Republican Party stands for today?  

Afflict those comfortable, Jannypants!
