does Obama know what he's just done? he basically just admitted, he doesnt do background checks on people - ergo, he just told us what his means for covering his ass down the road will be.
reporter: "Mr President, how do you address the fact that the minister of Interior just gave away the ANWR to China?"
Obama: "well, like ive said before about the secretary of transportation who sold our highways to the highest bidder in Dubai, and the secretary of defense who sold secrets to India, I didnt vet these people. I just trusted them. So sue me."
