(I got the job, so maybe I didn't totally fuck it up.)
But the most workable answer (your "c" option) really is a contrived, pre-planned yellback, that gives us no substantive information and merely shows that the answerer knows how to dance the dance. What good is that, for anyone? What does it say about people who criticize that he didn't do that? I think it's entirely form over substance, and it just makes a fun point of critique for people who would be criticizing his breathing patterns if that's all they had to work with.

I had no idea that you'd ever held the position of head of state of arguably (or perhaps inarguably) the most powerful country in the known universe. That is so cool that you can get it just by interviewing!!! Where do I sign up for the interview? Is there like a screening phone interview first, and then the interview where they ask "hard" questions?
