President Bush was out to dinner with his wife Laura, when President Obama called to tell him that the U.S. captured and killed Osama Bin Laden.
"I didn't... feel any great sense of happiness. Or jubilation," Bush told National Geographic. "I felt a sense of closure. I felt a sense of gratitude that justice had been done."
For more, watch National Geographic's exclusive interview with President Bush on the events surrounding 911 and Bin Laden on August 28th.

We are so psyched to see the U.S. Women's Soccer Team will play Germany today in the Final Match at the World Cup. But we're not the only one's leaping around with excitement.
Anybody who's anybody is tweeting all about it. President Obama tweeted, "To the women of our national soccer team: Sorry I can't be there to see you play, but I'll be cheering you on from here. Let's go. - BO." Other celebs like Ashton Kutcher, Ellen, and Maria Shriver got in on the Twitter action as well.
Second Lady Dr. Jill Bidan and Chelsea Clinton are part of the official U.S. delegation sent to Germany to cheer the players on. To get in on the cheer action yourself, you need only flip on your TV. Game's on right now.

One way to do this, he feels, is to elect a President Ford. Yeah, we already had one of those, and some would say it didn't work out too well for us. But Yogi Simmons has meditated on the matter, and his inner child tells him that a new President Ford, namely former congressman and now college professor/MSNBC talking head, Harold Ford Jr., is just what America needs.
How do we know this?
Duh?! Twitter.
After participating in a book signing with Ford, Yogi Simmons tweeted: "Fun last night, if president obama brings back our jobs next president could be this man!!!! Harold ford jr." (It's a bit of a run-on sentence, but that's exactly how he typed it.) Simmons also posted a link to a photo of Ford and himself signing books (above).
Ford tweeted back: "@UncleRush Thanks man! Was fun."
Since we're nice and all, we'll plug Simmons' and Ford's books. You can pick up Simmons' New York Times Bestseller, Super Rich: A Guide to Having It All, right here. And you can get Ford's book, More Davids Than Goliaths (also a New York Times Bestseller) over here. Both are pretty good.
