president obama hosting a women s economic forum at the white house. he insists it wasn t about getting the female vote. listen. there was been a lot of talk about women and women s issues lately, as there should be. but i do think that the conversation has been oversimplified. women are not some monolithic block. women are not an interest group. you shouldn t be treated that way. [ applause ] women are over half this country and its workforce. alisyn: are women getting short tricked in this economy and why is the white house doing this now. good morning. good morning. alisyn: are there women-specific issues that need to be addressed in this economy? absolutely. always going to be women-specific issues. this is absolutely focus. we re going to be a wig part of this election.
john brennan and the white house briefing room, when he did the brief, he actually said he was not going to give out a lot more of the details. having been there, john, there is a need to give some information out. i mean, what happens after that is this deluge. of course, every bureaucrat in washington who has any access thinks this is the opportunity to show they re in the know. and put people s lives at risk in doing that? i think there s too much information out there. the stealth helicopter, that wasn t the white house, that was left behind. you couldn t have helped that. the observation post, very dangerous for that to be out there. those sort of tactics. the seizure, you were going to get out there there was a seizure and what it was. it s unfortunate, but i don t worry as much about that as i do the observation post. thanks for coming in. we ll keep in touch we re also learning much more about the daring raid that led to bin laden s death. chris lawrence live at the pen
