The original video of Barack Obama's former aide revealing that the President played cards with staffers during the raid to kill Osama bin Laden has reportedly been pulled from YouTube.
Reggie Love revealed in a chat that Obama told him he could not 'watch this entire thing' play out so decided to play cards during the tense wait in May 2011.
According to the New York Daily News, Love told Los Angeles Times editor Jim Newton in July in a taped interview at UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs, that the president must have played 15 hands, 15 games of spades.
The highlights from the interview were compiled into a video originally posted on the Artists and Athletes Alliance YouTube account.
