CBS’s MAJOR GARRETT: “And lastly, just to clarify, to what degree did Hillary Clinton’s endorsement, just yesterday, of a no fly zone put her in a category of embracing a ‘half baked’ answer in Syria that borders on ‘mumbo jumbo?’” PRESIDENT OBAMA: “The uh…on the latter issue, on the last question that you asked, Hillary Clinton is not half baked in terms of her approach to these problems. She was obviously my secretary of state. But I also think there is a difference between running for president and being president. And the decisions that are being made and the discussions that I’m having with the joint chiefs become much more specific and require, I think, a different kind of judgment. And that’s what I’ll continue to apply…as long as I’m here.” (President Obama, Press Conference, 10/2/15)
