Good old Barack Hussein Obama paid Brian Williams, the tool of the White House who sometimes works as a journalist at NBC, off by granting an interview in the top secret "Situation Room" in the White House - hell, let's just open the whole place up and bring Oprah and Chris Matthews in, too.
Once again we see the leader of this country acting like a total moron - a rank amateur from Chicago who runs things like he's running for city council on the south side of Chitown.
This is exactly why I created my "Want List" that I broadcast at The Awakening last night - it's high time we demanded someone leading this country that has at least a lick of common sense, a man or woman who, after you shake hands with, you don't have to count your fingers.
The story comes from Politico.
Obama talks bin Laden in rare sit room interview
Brian Williams of NBC News held a rare interview with President Barack Obama about the killing of Osama bin Laden in the White House Situation Room yesterday.
The interview, which will air on Rock Center with Brian Williams on May 2, comes at the one-year anniversary of bin Laden’s killing, an event the Obama campaign is touting in a new ad that goes after Mitt Romney.
"One year ago, they brought down Bin Laden. Now, for the first time, the main players are talking -- only to Brian Williams," a 15-second promo of the interview, which aired this morning on the Today show, said. "Exclusive access inside the situation room. Rock Center, Wednesday, 9/8 Central on NBC."

White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest resisted questions regarding rumors of the interview this morning, as well as the suggestion that Obama was politicizing Bin Laden’s killing by holding an interview in the Situation Room.
“What I can tell you is that the President has conducted a couple of interviews over the course of the last year about the successful mission against Osama bin Laden,” Earnest said during a press gaggle on the way to an event in Georgia. “What the President did yesterday and what he has done many times before over the course of the last year is talk about that mission and talk about the success of that mission.”
White House officials did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
Of note: In a 2011 interview with Wolf Blizter, host of CNN's Situation Room, Obama said Blitzer could come to the White House situation room, but couldn't bring cameras.
"I hope you'll be coming and joining me in my Situation Room," Blitzer said. "And if you invite me to yours, I will be happy to come to yours as well."
"Thank you, Wolf. You can visit any time," the President said. "Just you can't bring cameras. That's the only difference."
"I will come by myself," Blitzer replied.
