conversation with finland that nobody in that country seems to have any recollection of. i'm not sure if the president thinks that people physically take rakes and go through the whole forest floor to clean it out. it's unclear exactly what he is picturing there. then to be standing amid the wreckage, you know, of the town that had been completely decimated and having to be reminded by reporters of exactly where he was standing and where he'd visited. i think it's an indication, number one, of some potentially shoddy, you know, staffwork of them not making very clear to him exactly where he was, repeatedly, but also this example, once again, of the president kind of finding ways, it just seems to be the way that he approaches things intrinsically, finding ways to nitpick and criticize and mistakes he makes that prevent him from being able to bring people together in these moments of tragedy. >> indeed, the president of finland said they never discussed the cleaning and the raking of the forest floor. people of finland, though, can always be counted on. they were on social media this weekend launching all kinds of different cleaning and raking parodies after they heard the president's comments. coming up, more on the president's attack on the man in charge of the raid that killed bin laden. john brennan was in the situation room that night. he's standing by to join us now. and later, the performance grade the president says he hates to give himself, but awards it, anyway. "the 11th hour" just getting started on a monday night. [ phone rings ] what?!
