It was Obama's most scathing assessment of the Republican nomination battle to date as he argued that Trump's views were the norm, not the exception, in the Republican Party, and that the front-runner had no business being given access to nuclear weapons or deciding how to prevent a banking crisis.
"Whoever is standing where I'm standing right now has the nuclear codes with them, and can order 21-year-olds into a firefight," he said, "and have to make sure that the banking system doesn't collapse and is often responsible for not just the United States of America but 20 other countries that are having big problems or are falling apart and are going to be looking for us to do something....

Interesting. It is hard to predict exactly what will go down, but many believe or sense bad things are coming.

Clearly he would prefer the Castro brothers have the codes.

i'd be surprised if she had them either... she might think she has them, but i have to have faith that the military is made of stronger stuff than to let either of these condom failures have access

This from the Muslim communist poofter grifter who never worked an honest day in his miserable life and spent years agitating for communist causes in Chicago. If there’s one person who NEVER EVER should have become POTUS, it is Oblather. Nobody has been as unprepared for the office than him. Not a day goes by when he doesn’t make himself more disgusting.

"...20 other countries that are having big problems or are falling apart and are going to be looking for us to do something." That's a pretty damning telegraph and with such specificity.

...I also read today that the US government is now funding multiple sides in Syria's civil war. In other words, we are providing money and weapons to one group so they can use them against the other group who we are also giving money and weapons to... Why are you criticizing this?
It is the first Obama policy I can fully agree with. It produces dead militant muslims at a higher rate than anything else we have tried. And, the cost is only in dollars, no American lives are lost.

Seriously, he has the audacity to say that? I felt that way about him!

If it came down to it, I don’t think Obama would use the nuclear codes. He is a surrender monkey.

The jackass doesnât know that it could be 18 year olds. Even a rare 17 year old.
I noticed this when it was first on the news. They totally gave the ass a pass on that stupid comment. Crickets....

Hussein is probably pretty confident in the Democrat control of the vote count and of the illegal votes and revotes.
