Updated: 60 Minutes: "Deepwater Horizon's Blowout" (video)

UPDATE: Amy Davidson (The New Yorker) with video from the US Navy (01:17):

“I have to say though I did not appreciate what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle,” President Obama said this morning. He was talking about the testimony of executives from BP, Halliburton, and Transocean, the companies behind the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (and not, say, about his own game of make-believe with Hamid Karzai). “The American people cannot have been impressed with that display, and I certainly wasn’t.” So what is he going to do about it? (Bold by Howie).
