This is an interesting excerpt from AARP The Magazine’s interview with First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden on finding out the news of Osama Bin Laden’s death.
Q: The attacks set off the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Did either of you have an inkling that the mission that killed him was in the works?
MO: I knew something was happening, but when it gets down to that level of secrecy, there’s just a small number of people who know anything.
Q: So when did you find out?
MO: I was actually out to dinner with girlfriends, and I didn’t know until I walked in the door. It was later in the evening, and Barack had his suit on, because he was going to the press conference. And I said, “What’s going on?”
Q: And your reaction?
MO: I was, like, “Wow.” Then I wanted to know the details: “How did it happen? Then what? And then what happened?” I was probably like every media person.
Interesting!
