The President gave an interview to a few journalists Wednesday afternoon. There is a terrific overview of all the topics addressed at NRO.

I wish I would have been there to hear the President comment on Moveon.org’s ad pertaining to General Petraeus.

The president blasted MoveOn for their “Betray Us” ad in the New York Times and the Democratic silence in response to it. “I was incredulous at first and then became mad.” The president said, “It is one thing to attack me — which is fine.” But the president’s view the attack on Petraeus as “an attack on men and women in uniform.” He said pointedly: “I was looking for the voices from leadership on the Hill and I didn’t hear too many.” He said, “This is wrong” and added that the ad “was uncalled for…and so was the silence” from the Democrats on the Hill.

Mr. President, I don’t think there is any leadership on the Hill any longer, at least not the kind to which many of us were accustomed.
