I thought the 60 Minutes interview with The President tonight was must-watch television. If you missed it, go here to see the entire interview, from start to finish, online.
As a reporter, I'm a stickler for getting people to answer the question you asked (instead of the one they wish you had asked), and twice Mr. Obama did not answer one of Steve Croft's queries. "Did you tell Michelle" (about the ongoing raid as it was happening)? He diverted his answer and later said he had not told "his family", though that's not quite the same thing, And when Croft asked "what could you see" (in the situation room as the raid was ongoing)?, the answer was vague. But heck, he's The President, not some freshman city councilman. The rules do change a bit. And for the record I think he did tell Michelle and he could see more of the raid than he said he could. If I can buy a $180 dollar pocket video camera that records an hour of HD video, then the president could see every second of what's going in that villa.
Oh, and has anybody wondered about house values in Pakistan? Did you see the video of the late mass murdered watching himself on a video? Did that look like the inside of a Million Dollar + Compound to you? Wires hanging from the wall, crappy assemble it yourself furniture...,,,an old blanket blocking the window...heck, he might have been better off in a cave!
