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.

>>>Obama: I'm Concerned About a Loose Nuke Being Detonated in Manhattan<<<

Signal of intent.

Remember what Obama wrote in RED on Flag Day 2012 on the disembodied One World Trade Center beam. "We" sure isn't "We the People" (after all, the message was penned by the hand of Obama).

"We come back stronger"... a red flag in red pen. Well there *was* the SOL's warning prior to 911 (Aug 23, 2001):

The real question is why would Obama even mention Nuclear in a public statement?

He needs to take his personal fight with Putin to the backroom and swing it out there to satisfy his ego need to be the Big Man on the World Stage.

What an idiot to even mention a Nuclear hit on this country.... but then he knows it will rally his base to be the “Great Defender”.....

HE’ll bring a war on just to save his own face...I detest this man!

He knows if this happened, he would be able to announce another delay on Obamacare. And by the time NYC was rebuilt, they could have the software repaired.

This is clearly reflected by the fact that Obama has secured and protected our borders and reformed legal immigration by severely limiting it, limiting travel into the U.S. of those from those from Muslim countries and conducting thorough background investigations and each and every person.

This would happen in a sane country with common sense leadership.

Back to the asylum.

Obammy’s media loves this foreign policy crap: takes the focus off the radical gay rights here, radical EPA, radical Obamacare ,radical spending, high taxes, IRS thuggery, and on and on.

We’re being destroyed from WITHIN without Putin’s help.

It is a good thing Lugar was defeated. He worked with Obama to disarm the Ukraine.

"Russia is a regional power...

I think this was meant as a intentional phrase intended as a backhanded slap at Putin...

I'm sure Putin think Russia to be more than a "regional power"
