And there are reports tonight that the president will be watching some of that hearing . Reporter david, cohen will bech thing late into the night, into the Early Morning hours here in vietnam, but i would be shocked if the president doesnt find a way to watch at least some of that testimony. In terms of the response, the white house, for the most part, is leaving it up to the president s outside supporters, but the president considers himself the ultimate counterpuncher, and you can be sure that the response that really matters will ultimately come from the president himself.
