Politics: Obama knows how to make Sarah Palin sound like a friggin’ fool

  • I really have no response, because last I checked, Sarah Palin’s not much of an expert on nuclear issues.
  • President Barack Obama • Speaking to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in the wake of the Nuclear Posture Review, which as we noted earlier, is being incorrectly portrayed by some (including Palin) as out of lockstep with prior U.S. diplomatic policy. Obama, who built his nuclear policy with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Michael Mullen, got in another rip on the former vice-presidential candidate, too: “I’m probably going to take my advice from them, and not from Sarah Palin.” Ouch. source

  • So, how’s Kim Jong-Il? We know what you’re thinking. Bill Clinton went to North Korea and hasn’t told the world about Kim Jong-Il yet. Fortunately, National Security Adviser Gen. James Jones relayed it to the world on “Meet the Press.” He says Kim is still firmly in power of his country.
