Mr. Obama requests

The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper draws attention to an interesting exchange at President Obama’s press conference today. Obama was asked:

And speaking of Iran, are you concerned that it will be able to weaken America’s national security by discovering intelligence from the fallen drone that it captured?

Obama responded:

With respect to the drone inside of Iran, I’m not going to comment on intelligence matters that are classified. As has already been indicated, we have asked for it back. We’ll see how the Iranians respond.

Inquiring minds want to know. Did he remember to say “please”? Is it possible to be this slow a learner?
