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.

He is just letting his friends know that he is ready for them to try now that he has focused on his true enemies, the US people.

“laid bare”
The entire paragraph containing that strange expression is a confusing mess. His thoughts are a jumble and it shows.

He cares nothing for this country. He wouldn’t mind at all if a nuke went of in Manhattan.

Agreed. A president, much less a world leader, should ever say something like this. It’s irresponsible.

Yes, Jim, he can’t talk sense off the prompter. He is a total idiot, but we already know that and the leaders from other nations know it, too.

Would love to hear everything they say behind his back....lol.

“We could have a nuclear bomb going off in the middle of the Chicago Loop. Without fear-mongering, if we don’t keep nuclear devices out of the hands of terrorists, it could just kill hundreds of thousands of people.” ~Senator Barack Obama, 2005

Same old routine plus nine years.

his comments are exactly the “chatter” that telegraphs orders to Islam. Instead the NSA is worried about tracking dads behind in child support with cell phone tracking.

What an idiot statement. The US has no overarching geopolitical strategic concerns. Only a rogue TSA of union employees frisking families and senior citizens, looking for WMD in their teddy bears and DEPENDS

Putin must be shaking his head in disbelief and rubbing his hands. The gates to Eastern Europe are open

And maybe that loose nuke might come from a struggling region that zero is pushing around like the bully he is.

I believe more than ever that Anthony Weiner did what he had to do to prevent the muslim brotherhood from ruling nyc.

Never ever forget that surprise flight around the nyc skyscrapers by obamas plane shortly after he moved in.

Amend the U.S. Constitution to reflect that Islam is defined as a cult , not a religion ( a cult of radicalism and plagiarism) and such cults will not be extended the same protections and guarantees as bonafide ‘religions’ .

Good old Obama.

Telegraphing his punches again.

Guaranteed: NYC in a mushroom cloud before his term is over.
