Hometown political reporters and editors had their chance to fire questions and solicit in-depth responses from Senator Barack Obama Friday as he sat down separately with both the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune teams for an unrestricted Q&A of about 90 minutes each. The journalists who have reported most closely and commented on Obama's career from day one were given the chance to clear up any remaining questions about his record and his candidacy for the United States presidency.
The newspapers published transcripts and a variety of commentaries in response:
