Day 71: Obama Flies To Europe

(AP)

On his seventy-first day in office, President Obama spent much of his time in the air, as he embarked upon his first trip to Europe since coming into office.

No word on whether or not the president slept on the plane, but it couldn't hurt to have rested up: The president has an extremely busy European swing planned, which you can read all about here. And watch video of Mr. and Mrs. Obama's arrival in England today here.

Below, check out CBS Evening News coverage of the president's journey.
