It really depends. If you ask a question and the President is answering that question, you probably should NOT interrupt him. However if you ask a question and the President starts trying to avoid the answer by rambling about something else, then it is a stall tactic to avoid answering the real question then he probably should be interrupted.
At the same time, the president of a country should be allowed a little leeway with their answers. They are the president and do deserve a certain amount of respect.
The interviewer wanted to know about the process not policy, Obama agreed the process was "ugly" and moved on trying to explain the bill. Not something the interviewer was interested in.
I was not speaking about Obama specifically. I have not seen the interview apparently. My statement is in general. I do feel that a President of any country should be treated with respect and should be giving a certain about of leniency when answering a question. However if hes using that leniency to keep from answering the question then at some point an interruption is not overly rude.
Since a specific case was not mentioned in the question and since I have not seen the interview, I really cant judge the particular case and point your talking about.
