After saying, "I think they made a mistake," he explained why:
"We can**t have a society where some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States, because if somebody is able to intimidate folks out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what they'll do when they see a documentary that they don't like, or news reports that they don't like - or even worse, imagine if producers or distributors or others start engaging in self-censorship because they don't want to offend the sensibilities of somebody whose sensibilities probably need to be offended."
He added that he's "sympathetic" to the fact that Sony is a private company that's worried about liabilities, but he admitted, "I wish they'd spoken to me first." Obama's comments about The Interview echo those of George Clooney (http://www.popsugar.com/George-Clooney), as George responded to Sony's decision (http://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/George-Clooney-Response-Sony-Cyberattack-36300822), too, saying, "To say we're going to make you pull it. We're going to censor you. That's a whole other game. That is playing in some serious waters, and it's a very dangerous pool."
