No. THIS IS NOT TRUE>

I don't care what an “informed” source leaks to the press, for whatever self serving purpose this false story has for obama.

Every US President is fully briefed and fully capable of exercising the actions needed as CinC in case of general war- immediately upon inauguration. His top level intelligence briefings began immediately after the Nov coup/election, to prepare him.

obama knew ( at least, he was briefed) on that funny looking briefcase (aka “football”) carried by his always present military aide.

Now, is obama smart enough to understand and to retain and to RESPECT what he was briefed?

No, imho.

Is he stupid and arrogant enough to blow off what he was briefed about our nuclear posture and his responsibilities, because he figured he'd just vote “present” until he got around to ordering people to change everything in that briefing?

Yes, imho.

Agreed. Here is a question - can the President order the "football" no long tag along with him? Does he have that power as CinC?

This is the most dangerous boy king to ever inhabit our palace.

I believe you are correct. The source is one of dubious nature, or rather the published source is. Newsweak.

His lousy agreement with Russia isn’t flying (Russia can back out any time) so he has come up with this horsesh*t as a justification to do what he did (enter into the agreement). He will use it to also make a similarly worthless agreement with the Chicoms.
