if there's a problem with obama no drama, it is not that he is showing no drama, it is when it comes ndals, he has precious little at all. maybe president obama doesn't want to tip into some emotional outburst he might regret, all fair, all fine. he needn't worry though. rightly or wrongly it gives americans the impression he is hiding something or there is something big or troubling, part of a pattern of institutional behavior that at the very least the boss should do something, but because he says nothing and does nothing and even when he does grant an interview as with charlie rose just recently adds nothing, we are only left to assume he thinks these scandals are nothing or at least much ado about nothing. what else to assume when the fbi director fails to recall or even remember the name of the investigator apparently looking into the irs targeting mess, the same mess that one of the rare times the president did speak out promised he would move heaven and earth to fix. it has been a month since then, and all we've got to show is an fbi director who doesn't know a thing about it,

i 'normally like the whole no drama obama persona he projects. that gives a lot of people confidence. most of the time. but there are types when you have to show some sort of sense of urgency. there is several big problems here, and i think if the president doesn't get his arms around them they're going to define his second term. going to define his legacy. has to project that he is in charge and that he can get his arms around these things. i want to say that there's the other side of this. every problem to some extent is an opportunity. so the president actually has number of big opportunities here, but he has to prove he has the leadership skill to take charge and do something about it. he has to take some really big steps here, like one of your previous guests said, maybe have to fire some people but has to make some really -- kneel neil but he is not, and time is awasting. maybe that's the move he has to make. >> goes back to the original thing you want a president who actually stands for something and you don't want someone who looks like t

foreporter: it is into the sad, lingering drama that barack obama arrived this evening. the president said on his flight here that he was not seeking a photo op with the fading south african hero. "the last thing i want to do," he said, "is to be any way intrusive at a time when the family is concerned with nelson mandela's condition." the president credits mandela with being one of his earlier inspirations to get into public life and a brief encounter between the two men, who both became the first black presidents of their respective countries, was captured in a poignant photo when mandela was in the u.s. eight years ago and barack obama was still a senator. there is a hole in the president's schedule tomorrow where a visit to the hospital here is possible, but given nelson mandela's fragile and, frankly, detached state, any visit runs the risk of seeming rsportunistic and pointless. a visit with the family, however, scott, is possible, and more likely. r, selley: mark phillips outside the hospital in pretoria. mark, thanks very much. ane of mr. obama's favorite clitary

obama once targets for snooping and he confirmed that data is being stored james corbet japan based independent journalist believes tice's revelations didn't get the attention they deserve. while the snowden drama unfolds something that's being swept under the rug are these new revelations from n.s.a. whistleblower russell tice who is in fact one of the people who is one of the sources for the original two thousand and five new york times story on the n.s.a. wiretapping scandal at that time but now russell tice to step forward with more information into explosive interviews from the last few days he talked about how the n.s.a. is in fact storing not just the metadata which has been the talking point in the newsroom so far but the content of all electronic communications that are going across the u.s. servers from e-mails to faxes to phone calls all of it being stored now at the new data center and in utah he also went on record to name names of some of the specific targets of n.s.a. spying and with the implication that this information was being used for blackmailing purposes on including senator then senator barack obama including general david petraeus and others who he mentioned by name incl
