OBAMA: NO NUKES...

Obama said Thursday he would not use nuclear weapons 'in any circumstance'... 'I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance,' Obama said, with a pause, 'involving civilians' Then he quickly added, 'Let me scratch that'...

[Uncledave]

Just a blurb up on Drudge so far. Obama seems to just keep digging.

[pissant]

Obams is the emptiest suit this side of John Edwards.

[narby]

This guy isn’t ready for prime time.

[dirtboy]

"PLEASE NUKE US. WE WON'T RETALIATE."

- Barak Obama

[waimea.man]

He’s history.

[fatnotlazy]

Oh yeah, kumbaya and all that.

Sorry, Osamabama, you and your cohorts in the liberal socialist democratic party are not very bright when it comes to dealing with our enemies.

[JZelle]

Obama might be the anti-christ.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Obams is the emptiest suit this side of John Edwards.

Maybe Obama can give the Silky Pony a run for the trophy when he reveals his tax policies.

[Lurker]

Obama might be the anti-christ.

Nope. Just a garden variety idiot political hack.

L

[jpl]

Wow, just yesterday he was declaring his intention to attack Waziristan without Pakistan's approval, and now this!

I'm almost starting to feel a little sorry for the guy, he's going to get his clock cleaned in the primary so badly.

[gridlock]

Nobody is this stupid... He must have some kind of a point...

The beautiful thing is he is charging up the Loony Fringe of the Democrat Party. They will never forgive Hillary! Rodham _(Clinton) for beating him.

[ClearCase_guy]

It almost looks likes he’s trying to disqualify himself. His recent statements vis a vis foreign policy issues just couldn’t be worse. Maybe he’s taking himself out so that he can be more clearly positioned as VP.

Obama: The Audicity Of Hope That I Am Not Making This Up As I Go.

[dinoparty]

We should probably wait to hear what he says after “Let me scratch that...” before jumping to conclusions.

Still, this sounds very bad, any way you cut it.

[Mr. Mojo]

"Obama might be the anti-christ."

I suspect the AC wouldn't make the dumbass mistakes Obama's making.

[N. Theknow]

OBAMA: NO NUKES BALLS...

[Octar]

It looks like he waded into the deep end of the pool. What a yutz.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Keep talking, Barak. Please, keep talking.

[Red_Devil 232]

And this is a Presidential Candidate? He may as well just take the rest of his campaign cash and go home.

[Red Steel]

Just WOW!

[Philistone]

Nobody is this stupid...

I wonder... What if Hitlery has bought him off somehow (or dug up some some excruciatingly delicious dirt) and is paying him to say this stuff so that she looks more "serious" by comparison. We know what kind of hardball the Clintoons play...

[mikrofon]

“Pardon me, I’m just thinking out loud, writing my next prepared speech to appeal to everybody...”

(”This is off the record, right?”)

[Old Grumpy]

“OBAMA: NO NUKES...”

Me: NO OBAMA.

[samtheman]

Obama might be the anti-christ.

Way too stupid to be the anti-christ. He could be the guy who zips the anti-christ up, when she puts on one of her new anti-christ pant-suits.

[Joe 6-pack]

"Obama might be the anti-christ."

I think he's a second stringer...not so much the king of darkness, but more like the prince of insufficient light.

[RightWhale]

He’s making it up. All of it. Every day.

[BigBobber]

Could this guy be any dumber? He’s going to have tea with murdering thug rulers, invade our allies, and promise not to use nukes?

But Oprah loves him!

[Williams]

He is Fing up big time with this one. The downside is this is being played as "Hilary has more experience and would be tougher". Keep your eye on the Hildabeast she is the real problem.

LOL it will be pretty funny to hear Obama further explaining/changing his position on the use of nuclear weapons.

By DENNIS CONRAD Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday he would not use nuclear weapons ‘’in any circumstance.’’

‘’I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance,’’ Obama said, with a pause, ‘’involving civilians.’’ Then he quickly added, ‘’Let me scratch that. There’s been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That’s not on the table.’’

The Illinois senator warned Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf earlier this week that he would use U.S. military force in Pakistan even with Musharraf’s permission if necessary to root out terrorists.

However, when asked by The Associated Press after a Capitol Hill breakfast with constituents whether there was any circumstance where he would be prepared or willing to use nuclear weapons to defeat terrorism and al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, Obama replied:

‘’There’s been no discussion of using nuclear weapons and that’s not a hypothetical that I’m going to discuss.’’

[Halls]

What a joke! This man can’t be president! He doesn’t have a clue what he would do seeing he can’t make up his mind on if he’d use nukes or not! Pathetic!

[InvisibleChurch]

what a dork

[dinoparty]

Its now being reported that his next words after “let me scratch that” were:

“...There’s been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That’s not on the table.”

This doesn’t cure his disasterous comment.

[Orange1998]

Obama starting to lay out his plan for America. Let him talk. He is his worst enemy.

[PureSolace]

At least he added ‘Let me scratch that’ :) I guess he thought about what he said. :)

[BigBobber]

Oh, I forgot the “thousands killed” in that tornado. This guy reached his level of incompetence as a STATE senator.

[rawcatslyentist]

>"Obama said Thursday he would not use nuclear weapons 'in any circumstance'"

LOL Ha ha ha ha... now say it in Japanese Mr OHussein!

[TexasGunLover]

Keep your eye on the Hildabeast she is the real problem.

You better believe it. This is all about the DNC running mis-direction. The more Osama Bin Laden is taking the hits in this early campaigning, Hillary isn't getting any bad press. Hillary, is, was, and will always be their main focus.

[domenad]

But he’s so articulate! No wait, scratch that...

[Steamburg]

Won’t use nukes, particularly after he starts a war with a Nuclear nation like say, Pakistan. What side is this dufus on?

[mutley]

‘’I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance,’’ Obama said, with a pause, ‘’involving civilians.’’ Then he quickly added, ‘’Let me scratch that. There’s been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That’s not on the table.’’

That can't be what he really said. Dear God.

[caver]

Hey this like declaring a gun free zone and leaving yourself wide open for an attack.

[evets]

Oh no you didn't!

[Pete]

It can be sad to watch someone’s candidacy publicly implode. Sounds like this could be one of those moments. That and figuring out your MAD policy on the fly in front of cameras is probably never a good idea.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Maybe Hillary took him for a stroll through Ft. Marcy Park and suggested he made that stupid comment or accept an undesirable fate instead.

[squidly]

It’s pretty obvious that this character will say whatever he thinks people want to hear.

[rfp1234]

[Kozak]

What a joke! This man can’t be president! He doesn’t have a clue what he would do seeing he can’t make up his mind on if he’d use nukes or not! Pathetic!

No Rat can make up his mind without a focus group and polling data to guide him.

[TYVets]

I am glad Harry Truman did not have the same attitude as this idiot.

[mutley]

LOL!!!
