At about a quarter-to-nine the president got a straight-up question. I don’t have the transcript. But it was basically: Are we willing to allow the North Koreans to become a nuclear power? Are you starting to get concerned? (This is the “red-line” question.)

As I heard his answer it was: “It’s an issue. I’m concerned.” He then went on into a miscellany about diplomacy and allies.
