Obama: I'm Concerned About a Loose Nuke Being Detonated in Manhattan
Weekly Standard ^ | March 25, 2014 | By Daniel Halper

Romney still wrong about Russia, says Obama.

Speaking at a brief news conference in the Hague, President Obama said he's more worried about a loose nuke being detonated in Manhattan than he is about Russia:

"With respect to Mr. Romney's assertion that Russia is our number one geopolitical foe, the truth of the matter is that America has a whole lot of challenges," said the president.

"Russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neigbors, not out of strength, but out weakness.

"Ukraine has been a country which Russia had enormous influence for decades, since the break-up of the Soviet Union, and we have considerable influence on our neighbors, we generally don't need to invade them in order to have a strong cooperative relationship with them. The fact that Russia felt compelled to go in militarily and laid bear these violations of internationl law indicates less influence not more.

"So my response then continues to be what I believe today, which is: Russia's actions are a problem. They don't pose the number one national security threat to the United States. I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan," said Obama.

Total BS propaganda piece to solicit something from the sheeple. We have numerous nuclear sensors on the ground, in the air, and in space. There is ZERO chance anyone could move a nuke without detection.

Beyond dumb to say that. So like him, though, and he gets a pass every time.

Wonder if it was a freudian slip about something he actually knows, a missing airliner, as only one example?

Oh, yeah. Completely forgot about Putin’s warnings to Obama about those guys. Good point.

Maybe if he put on his NY mom jeans, he wouldn’t feel so “confined” by the thought of a Manhattan nuke...

It’s just part of making you go “Huh?” when he says, at the same time, he wants his NSA to stop collecting phone call records. And on that point, he claims to need Congress to approve an order that he is empowered to make.

What? Didn’t Obammy get the rest of the world to disarm their nukes as he sent the USA towards a ZERO arsenal (he’s already taken their use off the table for virtually any response).

Mac daddies only concern is knowing when it could happen so he could plan another tax payer vacation for $300,000,000.00 and be out of the danger zone and play the “I only found out about it from the news” excuse.

He just had to mention Romney! Entirely spiteful and Romney of all idiots, really got to him. Still laughing.

Obama's the new poster child for 'thin-skinned'...

Hi, my name is Barack Obama and I can’t multitask.
“Hi Barack”.

Freudian slip. He a big part of the big plans for the month after he's out of office and safely settled into his new Hawaiian retreat.

He’s right. Russia isn’t the #1 threat. He is!

...the solution is to outlaw and ban Islamic practice in the United States...

As long as Islam is recognized as a religion rather than what it truly is (a socio-political system masquerading as a religion) it will not happen.
