OUTRAGEOUS - AT 10:47 P.M. ET:  We praised President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize speech, and the fact that some Europeans are upset with it makes us more enthusiastic.  But in his "60 Minutes" interview with Steve Kroft Sunday night, the president couldn't control his lesser instincts, and once again went after his predecessor, George W. Bush.  The New York Daily News reports:

"One of the mistakes that was made over the last eight years is for us to have a triumphant sense about war," he said. "There was a tendency to say, 'We can go in. We can kick some tail. This is some glorious exercise.' When, in fact, this is a tough business."

COMMENT:   That's awful.  Do you recall anyone in any high position who said anything of the kind?  This is a cheap shot.  The president should be embarrassed.

But he's not.
