He dodges the question, saying something about all sides coming together to do what’s best (specifics unmentioned) for the country. Good on him.

But this is epic shilling by NBC’s Ann Curry. She doesn’t ask how all sides should come together. She asks how Obama could work with Republican opponents. In other words, she asks from Obama’s viewpoint.

She wants the Tibetan spiritual leader to help Obama overcome Republican opposition.

Journalistic integrity? What’s that? NBC News certainly doesn’t know.
