In the case of North Korea, looking at the geometries of the tests we've already conducted, and the geometries of a launch coming out of North Korea and interceptors coming out of Alaska, we have demonstrated that capability to intercept.That's all well and good, but if you have to play, it's better to pitch than catch, especially when the penalty for a passed ball is so high.

The European missile defense sites, both in Poland and the Czech Republic, were very close to the great circle path.... but not from North Korea... from Iran.
I guess The One figures he'd be safe in the White House bunker, since any Iranian ICBM is going to not have that high yield of a warhead, and likely not be all that accurate. Or that he could helicopter out in Marine One to that "undisclosed location" before the imcoming landed.
Of course his constitutents in DC would be SOL.
