ABC News Anchor Christiane Amanpour interviewed Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday morning during a daylong series of online interviews with eight GOP presidential candidates.
Perry deflected Amanpour's questions about the sexual harassment claims against fellow candidate Herman Cain. When asked whether he'd reverse the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, Perry accused President Barack Obama of appeasing "his political base" and said he would "go back and sit down with your commanders in the field and have that conversation."
Interviewed in Austin, Perry also addressed questions about his faith and his foreign policy stance toward Iran.
The talk concluded with a series of questions asked of all candidates about their worst jobs, guilty TV pleasures, happiest moments and favorite music.
Watch the ABC/Yahoo video below to hear Perry's answers.
(Hint: Perry says the happiest moment of his life will be when his daughter "finds her perfect mate.")
