. >> we think that this is going to be an improvement because you always have drivers going from afar right to the left and that slows down traffic. anytime you have a left exit, traffic slows. overall, the design is better and traffic will move smoothly through that area by having the right exit. >> there's been a lot of construction out here. they are asking drivers to be patient while all this work continues. they understand there will be some confusion from those not aware of the changes as we get into a tomorrow and in the upcoming weeks. but they believe in the long run it will be the best option. all this on the left lanes that will be closed will eventually become part of the hot lanes and there will be and eventually an exit ramps for the hot lanes. if this project will be completed entirely december 2012. >> thank you. >>> metro passengers should allow an extra 20 minutes this weekend because of track work. that will begin at 10:00 tonight and will continue through closing on sunday. trains will be single-tracking on parts of the red line, green orange, and blue line. also o

also more hands-off, bombing from afar, not putting boots on the ground. i think those are consistent.

the libya intervention also a little bit more hands off, bombing from afar, not putting boots on the ground, and others argue he's constrained by iraq and afghanistan, but that's a more external focus. >> host: most presidents don't campaign on foreign policy. they campaign on i want to be the education president or it's about the economy, ect.. is there a temptation or are there overwhelming forces that lead them to intervene worldwide because every president has intervened some way worldwide; correct? >> guest: even ones that declared they don't like the transforming kind, like george w. bush, ended up doing that intervention in the end, so i think that one question we have is do we have enough of these capabilities in the united states, or if we choose not to build them, should we be more careful about going in if we don't have the capabilities at hand? because we see the presidents getting sucked into interventions regardless of what they say, but i think the -- the preparations they make based on the way they perceive threats, again, has profound consequences for the way these i

i've admired them from afar, but i'm not really part of their circle. i thought of me be trying to seek to have an interview with the president for this book. i decided not to pursue that. the reason i decided not to pursue that is i thought well, if the president gives you an interview, the president is essentially giving you a favor, and i didn't want to feel -- i didn't want to feel beholden to fall even in the least little bit. i wanted to feel completely distance, like i could say what i thought without any in addition -- inhibition. in my book for whatever it's worth, i felt on inhabited, and in putting forth my point of view. >> host: well, just as a reporter's position for the last 14 years covering the president, when you interviewed him we've gained more perspective from this insight. and you have incentive we researched columns and of those who have been for and against. going back in your book as well, you have used examples of fdr and jfk now, how do you link fdr with president obama when he wants to reach out to abraham lincoln, the team o

reporter: i don't think i've seen anything like this in years from either -- from being here or from afar. it's because of the importance of this particular anniversary that everyone's paying so much more attention to it, so nerves were already on edge, and now they continue to be even more so as we approach the anniversary. >> and you've had a chance to see the mayor, michael bloomberg, the police commissioner, ray kelly. they're pretty worried about what's going on, based on the intelligence that they have, their cooperation with federal authorities in washington, as well. >> reporter: oh, absolutely. the information is free flowing. and as it started to become public, that is why a news conference was put together late on thursday night to make the public aware of it. so that people were told to be on guard but also be on the lookout, too. and we've seen in the past with the foiled times square bombing, just over a year ago, that came about because someone saw some smoke burning in a car and they brought it to the attention of authorities and that's how that plot was eventually foiled.
