Supposedly our nuclear command structure is hardedned against EMP and our nuclear subs are safe. Back in the day the Russians knew if they attacked the U.S. there would be a massive nuclear retaliation. Perhaps the N. Koreans and the Iranians need to understand that an EMP attack against the U.S. would bring a massive nuclear strike on their countries that would leave them nothing but radioactive rubble. Unfortunately Obama has shown nothing but weakness and capitulation and this could be interpreted by these rogue states that they could get away with crippling the U.S. with an EMP bomb. I’m not so sure that Obama would do anything to retaliate to any country attacking the homeland. Perhaps our next president could make it clear that an EMP strike on the U.S. would bring nuclear retaliation on any nations involved

In such an event, Obama would no longer effectively be in charge...
Except that is not true.
It is. I worked in that structure in the 80's while in the Air Force. Even back then everything had emp circuits...basically circuitry that acted as a fuse. In the event of an emp it would be up and working in a matter of minutes. And that was over 30 years ago...not to mention shielding.
The nuclear command is def. hardened against EMP.
And it is surprisingly easy to do.
A metal shed would protect you and your computers (make sure you make the floor metal too)
