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”
