Twenty Minutes with the PresidentReported by Charlie Sheen
 I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with our 44
th
President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, while hewas out promoting his health care reform initiative. I requested 30minutes given the scope and detail of my inquiry; they said I could have 20. Twenty minutes, 1200 seconds, not a lot of time toquestion the President about one of the most important events inour nation’s history. The following is a transcript of ourremarkable discussion.
Charlie Sheen - Good afternoon Mr. President, thank you so much fortaking time out of your demanding schedule.President Barack Obama - My pleasure, the content of your requestseemed like something I should carve out a few minutes for.CS - I should point out that I voted for you, as your promises of hope andchange, transparency and accountability, as well as puttinggovernment back into the hands of the American people, struck anemotional cord in me that I hadn’t felt in quite some time, perhapsever.PBO- And I appreciate that, Charlie. Big fan of the show, by the way.CS - Sir, I can’t imagine when you might find the time to actually watchmy show given the measure of what you inherited.PBO - I have it Tivo’d on Air Force One. Nice break from the travelingpress corps. (He glances at his watch) Not to be abrupt or to rushyou, but you have 19 minutes left.CS - I’ll take that as an invitation to cut to the chase.PBO - I’m all ears. Or so I’ve been told.CS - Sir, in the very near future we will be experiencing our first 9/11anniversary with you as Commander in Chief.
 
PBO - Yes. A very solemn day for our nation. A day of reflection and yeta day of historical consciousness
 
as well.CS - Very much so, sir, very much so indeed…. Now, in researchingyour position regarding the events of 9/11 and the subsequentinvestigation that followed, am I correct to understand that youfully support and endorse the findings of the Commission Reportotherwise known as the ‘official story’?PBO - Do I have any reason not to? Given that most of us are presumablyin touch with similar evidence.CS - I really wish that were the case, sir. Are you aware, Mr. President,of the recent stunning revelations that
sixty percent 
of the 9/11commissioners have publicly stated that the government agreed
not 
to tell the truth about 9/11 and that the Pentagon was engaged indeliberate deception about their response to the attack?PBO - I
am
aware of certain “in fighting” during the course of their verythorough and tireless investigative process.CS - Mr. President, it’s hard to label this type of friction as “in fighting”or make the irresponsible leap to “thorough,” when the evidence Iinsist you examine regarding 6 of the 10 members are statementsof fact.(
 At this point one of Obama’s senior aides approaches thePresident and whispers into his ear. Obama glances quickly at hiswatch and nods as the aide resumes his post at the doorway,directly behind me.
)PBO - No disrespect, Mr. Sheen, but I have to ask; what is it that youseem to be implying with the initial direction of this discussion?CS - I am not implying anything, Mr. President. I am here to present thefacts and see what you plan to do with them.PBO - Let me guess: your ‘facts,’ allegedly supporting these claims, arein the folders you brought with you?CS - Good guess, Mr. President.(
 I hand the first folder of documents to the President 
)
 
CS - Again sir, these are not my opinions or assumptions. This is all amatter of public record, reported through mainstream media,painstakingly fact checked and verified.(
The President glances into the folder I handed him
)CS - You’ll notice, sir, on page one of the dossier dated August of ‘06from the Washington Post, the statements of John Farmer, SeniorCouncil to the 9/11 Commission, his quote stating “I was shockedhow different the truth was from the way it was described.”PBO - (
 As he glances down at the report, almost inaudible)
…. Umhmm….CS - He goes on to further state, “The [NORAD Air Defense] tapes tolda radically different story from what had been told to us and thepublic for two years….”(
The President continues to view the documents
)CS - On pages two and three, sir, are the statements, as well, fromcommission co-chairmen Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton,commissioners Bob Kerrey, Timothy Roemer and John Lehman, aswell as the statements of commissioner Max Cleland, an ex-Senator from Georgia , who
resigned,
stating:“It is a national scandal. This investigation is now compromised. One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9/11 issueis so important to America. But this White House wants to cover itup.“He also described President Bush’s desire to delay the process as not todamage the ‘
04 re-election bid 
. They suspected deception to thepoint where they considered referring the matter to the JusticeDepartment for criminal investigation. Mr. President, thisinformation alone is unequivocally grounds for a newinvestigation!PBO- Mistakes were clearly made but we as a people and as a countryneed to move forward. It is obviously in our best interest as ademocratic society to focus our efforts and our resources on thefuture of this great nation and our ability to protect the American
