Top aides to President Obama say that, yes indeed, he did have that 3 a.m. phone call that then-rival Hillary Rodham Clinton warned he couldn't handle.
Before the Texas Democratic primary last year, Clinton aired a provocative TV ad that showed children sleeping peacefully and asking voters who they would trust to deal with a middle-of-the-night crisis.
Senior adviser David Axelrod, communications director Anita Dunn, and press secretary Robert Gibbs told CNN that it happened in April, when Obama was in Prague and North Korea tested a long-range missile.
"I think it was about 4:00 in the morning we were in there and we then discussed that and I went to wake him up and he soon joined all of us in getting intelligence briefings from in the room as well as back in D.C.," Gibbs said.
"He came in, sat down, got a read up on the military people, got on the line with Secretary Gates, General Cartwright I think. And then he says, 'OK. Heres what were going to do -- bing, bing, bing,' " Axelrod continued.
Obama, who condemned the test, didn't go back to sleep. Instead, he went to the gym.
The interview is scheduled to air in full on Monday...

"bing, bing, bing,"
Clearly, the man is in Microsoft's payroll.
I am soooooooooooo impressed/not!
“He came in, sat down, got a read up on the military people, got on the line with Secretary Gates, General Cartwright I think. And then he says, ‘OK. Heres what were going to do — bing, bing, bing,’ “ Axelrod continued.”
He ate some cherries and left?
He was in Prague and he went to the gym? What, do they have a traveling gym for TOTUS now?
Is that code for “diddly squat”?
“bing, bing, bing,” Is that kinda like mmm...mmm...mmm?
Are they bragging about this? Good grief Obama is a frikin' do nothing loser.
"Where's your Commander-n-Chief when the nukes start flying?"
I take is as "nada, nada, and nada.
I thought this story was going to be about his prostate.......
After a few years in office it will be a miracle if Obama knows the first names of any military save for a couple of generals.
One translation: “..bing..bing..bing..”
It is a tale full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.
Macbeth
I think he finds his boyfriends at the gym. Prague, Berlin, . . .
Obama, who condemned the test, didn’t go back to sleep. Instead, he went to the gym.
LMFAO...THIS STUFF WRITES ITSELF!!!!
“Take THAT, Hillary! Take THAT! In yo face! Boom shakalaka!”
I think every bit of unanswered criticism just eats at this guy and eats at this guy (to the point now where he’s going all campaign mode on a member of his own cabinet). That’s scary.
His “bing-bing-bing” was nothing. The missiles did not post a real immediate threat. One thing he didn’t do was restore full funding to our missile shield development project. It was very thoughtful of him to get up, though. (sarc)
Obama did have middle-of-night call
“I thought this story was going to be about his prostate.......”
I was thinking Larry Sinclair...
Bing, bing, bing. Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm.
“post” should be “pose”
.....and then our Narcissist-Ponderer-in-Chief goes to the gym.
Then why the indecision re Afghanistan where American’s are actually dying while this miscreant goes “to the gym”?
This doesn't sound believable at all. No way BO made any decisions much less....bing, bing, bing! More like....Wha....wait.....what...?
Obama, who condemned the test, didn't go back to sleep. Instead, he went to the gym.
It was probably more like..."We'll handle this, BO. You go to the gym"
When you said post you were thinking of his jump shot at the gym from the post.
Oooooo, am sure our enemies are quaking.
What a NAMBY PAMBY NOTHING incident.
And yet this will be in a CNN interview to be aired soon.
Just remember, America, it’s all about the big “HE”!
Why not goo, goo, google? Is Obama after google now?
bing bing bing
Gibbs: Obama Has Spent "Close to 20 Direct Hours" on Afghan War, "Quite a Bit of Time" Pondering
He got a 3AM phone call from McChrystal and 80 days later still hasn’t made a decision.
Good grief, are these people totally tone deaf? "Tell North Korea they are really bad for doing this - I'm going to the gym". This coupled with the 20 hours actually working on Afghanistan - ugh. And they proudly announce this stuff like he is really doing huge things. I'm totally flabbergasted.

Ohhhhh, my wookie had a cherry, bing bing bing
No cherries, but someone stole his strawberries. Nothing gets done until he finds out who took his strawberries.
“No cherries, but someone stole his strawberries. Nothing gets done until he finds out who took his strawberries.”
Hahahaha...except this Mutt ain’t got all his marbles...
That's amazing! How did he think of that? Out of a sound sleep no less. It's just pure genius. Do we even need a dept of defense anymore?

bing bing bing
“At today’s White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Barack Obama has spent “close to 20 direct hours” in meetings on Afghanistan”
An obvious lie...these weasels can figure a way out of supporting the troops MUCH faster than that...you know they are going to leave them twisting in the wind...they’ve known it since before Zero’s election...they needed to get in the tearful BS photo ops and set up the media for the Lincolnesque “oh dear, this is so difficult” all wee wee’d up moment we will get right after the elections...I hate these bastrds and what they are doing to our troops...
“bing, bing, bing,” wee wee wee.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Yeah, he has done a helluva job restraining the NORKS, Axel-hole.
Which knee-padded "journalist" for CNN performed this piece of propaganda for Hussein??
Cocaine can keep you up all night.
“Oh, thay—wasn’t that a gorgeous shot?”
BS
Dither, deliberate, and dodge. Bing, bing, bing.
The One got up in the middle of the night??
Doesn’t he get another medal for that???
I think he meant billable hours.
Obama is going to have a Captain Queeg moment for sure, you can sense it coming. He's a narcissist who thinks everyone is out to get him.
Exactly. The moment I saw Zero’s photo op with the coffin of the returning hero, I knew he had in his mind to abandon all the rest of them over there.
Bastard!!!
Wow. That's just amazing. So impressive.
I feel all safe and secure now.
{BARF!}
A lie? You weren’t impressed by the 20 hour figure were you?
