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.

I'm concerned about a loose screw being installed in the White House. Oh wait... too late.

New York City seems like a pretty good target to me; although Washington DC would be a better one, hopefully when Congress, the Senate and the White house are all fully occupied.
Solve a lot of problems for the rest of the country, would be sorry about any innocent people though.

Obama was wrong with the reset button in the first place. He should shut his yap.

Then a nuke terror strike madness in the US would not happen in a vacuum.

Russia and China would probably take advantage of the catastrophic situation to invade other places and overwhelm us.

What political correct trash are we being fed again?

This guy is playing with us and we are getting destroyed.

Even a black person with an attitude can understand that PC is stupid.

...and I’m more worried about a loose socialist in the White House than about Russia.

I know socialists, and obammy is no socialist...he's a communist.

As the titular heir to the leadership of the West, and having muffed that so badly that there is no leader at this time, the nine year old child displays his inability to recognize the danger of revealing his personal fears too, to enemies that gain from that knowledge.

This guy brings new meaning to the word clueless. Is there a level that this guy gets about our national security and sovereignty? No.

Furthermore, he sees no value in these things, and is perfectly comfortable doing away with them, and is doing that as we discuss these matters here.

The hopes and dreams of the anti-nuke and anti-military Left (read that Marxist hard Left), are finally being implemented. Soon the door will be wide open.

Nobody will have to sneak a nuke into New York. They’ll be able to fire them in off our coast. Fifteen to twenty of them will reduce this nation to fourth world status.

Oh the wonders of the brilliance of the Left in the Western Hemisphere.

Thankfully, living in the metropolitan centers of our nation, they will be the first to glow.

I call BS. Obama has not indicated much concern about terrorism. He would not even defend our consulate.

Let’s not forget to drive those in this country into hiding, as well. Just to be sure.

“They don’t pose the number one national security threat to the United States.”


And yet so many armchair Rambos in here sucking on their bottles of liquid courage want us to get into a nook war over Crimea.

Putin just may show him how “weak” he really is.

Last week terrorism wasn’t a problem, Global warming was.

Sure, take out DC or New York, that would pretty much wipe out their base and piss off whatever is left. Taking out DC would screw over their power politics. Now, Israel is the more likely target and could be the real false flag op.

What an utterly idiotic man. The biggest threat to this country is his leadership. He has infested the nation with his communist allies and power hungry goons that will take a generation to cure.

Actually, if HE was the navigator, he’d probably target a conservative-rich area in Texas or some other state he hates, preferably a military town since he despises our military. Israel would work, too. Whatever it takes to keep the cold case posse and sheriff joe out of the news. Last I heard, their announcement date was supposed to be “late-March.” How long is he staying in Europe? And how long will his family be in China?
