Ok, now THERE'S my president.

  • Steve Kroft: How much pressure have you been getting from [Israeli] Prime Minister Netanyahu to make up your mind to use military force in Iran?
  • President Obama: Well, look, I have conversations with PM Netanyahu all the time, and I understand and share PM Netanyahu's insistence that Iran not obtain a nuclear weapon... because it would threaten us, it would threaten Israel, it would threaten the world and kick off a nuclear arms race.
  • Steve Kroft: You're saying you don't feel any pressure from PM Netanyahu, in the middle of a [United States Presidential] campaign, to try and get you to change your policy and draw a line in the sand? You don't feel any pressure?
  • President Obama: When it comes to our national security decisions, ah, any pressure that I feel is simply to do what's right for the American people. And I am gonna block out any noise that's out there.
