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

Posted on 03/25/2014 9:23:31 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

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.

Starting a war is the time tested and classic way to rally the public to the leader’s side despite domestic problems.
I’m absolutely sure that 0bama wants a nuke to go off in NY or some other large city so that he and his team could further consolidate power, declare martial law and cancel elections.
Maybe the proto-dictator will try something.

You disagree that it would be just that those who pushed hardest to weaken us should pay the biggest price for what they did?

For instance, I don't feel sorry for the Democrats in Detroit, they turned one of the greatest cities in the world into a toilet. Now I say, let them swim in it!

And if through their reckless policies they invite evil to attack us here at home, because they refuse to acknowledge that it exists, I can only hope that they primarily are the ones to pay the price for their incompetence and naivete.

A quote from the bible comes to mind, “they will reap what they have sown.”

"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 . . .

I am amazed that Obama could be so ignorant on an important historical fact central to the job he usurped, unless this is just another lie to spin the crisis. As is so often the case when Obama displays his ignorance, I find myself hoping he is lying to us - as he usually is.

I could easily see him capable of sending a disguised covert message to someone holding a nuke. Many ppl have been wondering if the Malysian plane was stolen for later use, for instance. I could see that traitor dropping a nuke on us while he’s safely overseas. Where are his kids? Is Michele still out of the country with them?

At the very least, we all know he and other socialists have a habit of projecting their evil desires. It’s probably just his Freudian wish.

I don’t believe for a minute it was an off-TelePrompter mistake due to stupidity.

I meant to paste your original comment re the plane, which I was commenting on, but forgot.

Oh well, restating/pasting a comment for context is almost a lost art around here, so that was payback for any guilty parties reading this. lol. (The absolute worst is to run up on a YouTube link with nothing but the URL!)

"Strong cooperative relationship." As in, we're letting our neighbor to the south invade us.

I just had an image in my head of a nuke being detonated somewhere, and you rubbing your hands with glee.

Translation: National Security is about cracking down on Christians and conservative groups in the US - not terrorists or Communinists.

How naive can you get?

The number one national security threat to the United States of American is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

solution is to outlaw and ban Islamic practice in the United States , and end all moslem immigration. That would be a good starting point , to prevent the Manhattan eventuality

and deport all non natural born American Muslims (and watch the rest like a hawk)

Now that’s a smart thing for a president to verbalize.

I guess the Romney question threw him. How did it get through?
