Ms. Reid is also a political columnist for the <a title=\"The Miami Herald: Joy-Ann Reid\" href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/opinion\/other-views\/joy-ann-reid\/\">Miami Herald<\/a> and editor of the political blog, <a title=\"The Reid Report - a blog by Joy-Ann Reid\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.reidreport.com\/\">The Reid Report<\/a>. She is currently writing a book on the Clinton and Obama administrations and wanted to talk to me\u00a0about critiques and observations of the Obama presidency that I posted on my website (www.JamesRichardson.net).\u00a0\u00a0It appears she was intrigued by my comments on <a title=\"Are we better off?\" href=\"http:\/\/jamesrichardson.net\/jtalk\/2012\/11\/01\/are-you-better-off\/\">the impact of the Obama presidency<\/a> and <a title=\"Thoughts on Black History Month\" href=\"http:\/\/jamesrichardson.net\/jtalk\/2012\/02\/01\/thoughts-on-black-history-month\/\">how he is viewed in the Black Community<\/a>. Since I don&#8217;t consider myself \u00a0overly political I wasn&#8217;t sure of what I was going to add to the conversation. In truth I am far more comfortable talking about mobile apps and multimedia than about government policies.\u00a0With that said, I agreed to an interview. I think it went okay.
