North Korea is what brought Obama back to the table. He knows he can’t let the defense cuts occur in the face of intercontinental ballistic capability in North Korea.The Republicans should force him to keep and make permanent all of the current tax rates. He can’t let the cuts go through and then come back and argue for a huge increase in anti-ballistic missile technology. It wouldn’t be good for the caliphate or any other supra-national grouping you could name, U.S. security aside.

Good point. His base would have a fit.

North Korea has rockets that can reach Alaska and Hawaii. It is just conceivable an NK launch on either state could result in plenty of impetus to overthrow the Obamugabe regime here, and crack the Democrat party in two!

Whether Barry can realize such things or not his handlers certainly can.
