When asked about the “Gatecrashers” incident on 60 Minutes yesterday, President Obama admitted that he was seriously angry about the incident and “that’s why it wont happen again.”

Obama was asked about the “Gatecrashers” at the end of the interview, causing him to joke “it’s really a shame that I had to go through a whole 60 minute interview without talking about the gatecrashers. Good catch.”

He continued: “I think that what I know is what everybody knows. Which is that these people should not have gotten through the gate.”

Obama also said that he “was unhappy with everybody involved who was involved in the process.”

“Now, I don’t think from a policy perspective this was the most important thing, or even the 5th or 6th most important thing that happened this week, although it got the most news,” he said.

When asked if he was “seriously angry” about the incident, Obama replied: “Yes. That’s why it wont happen again.”
