"Community Organizer In Chief" Edition...

James Williams:

"Apparently [Obama] thinks he is an expert, even though most real experts agree with Palin rather than him. He has an enormous ego, and apparently thinks his personal magnificence protects the US from attack."

Stacy Drake:

"It seems the seasoned and knowledgeable [A.B.] Culvahouse thought Governor Palin had the right temperament and enough ‘expertise’ to make important nuclear related judgments. As far as Barack Obama’s own lack of expertise on nuclear matters, I think his record is clear. He is certainly no military expert and he has never been in charge of any nuclear or missile defense operations before his current job. Instead, he deals with it the same way deals with everything else… Through left-wing ideology. He views these important issues through those thick ideological lenses that tell him that everything America has always been, is 'fundamentally' wrong therefore we need to 'change' it."

Peter Andrew:

"[Obama] still hasn’t grown up and realized he actually is the President of the United States. Be above this stuff, don’t even respond to this. Doing so demonstrates he perceives Palin to be a real threat to him in 2012. He thinks she is a big enough threat that her comments cannot go without a response."

CosmicConservative:

"Obama’s response was fairly typical of Sarah-Deranged moonbats... I have never heard a sitting President lash out like a middle school crybaby at opponents by name until this thin-skinned, narcissistic, collectivist, arrogant man-child lied his way into office. By my count he has now, as President, directly attacked in personal terms, by name, John McCain, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh. He has further directly attacked obvious targets... so he can contrast his purity and light against the forces of darkness. There has never been a President so thoroughly and consistently un-Presidential. Bill Clinton’s oval office sexual shenanigans, as bad as they are, did not even cheapen the office the way this pathetic self-important buffoon has."

Glenn Reynolds:

"Obama lashes out at Sarah Palin. If only he hated America’s enemies half as much..."

Merv Benson:

"Again it looks like Sarah Palin is closer to the voters position on nuclear policy than Obama. In typical Obama arrogance he claimed Palin was not an expert on nuclear issues. Now we find that a majority of voters do not believe he is an expert. Go figure. In Obama's world you are not very smart if you don't agree with him. Unless of course you are a foreign enemy, in which case he will concede you have a point."

The Borg Conspiracy:

"The Secretary of Defense and most every other cabinet position appointee either toes your line or will be shown the rear door of the bus as they are chunked under the wheels with the rest who meet with your displeasure. So please messer Obama, don't patronize me and a good many other Americans with your hollow representations of supposed solidarity of policy and decision making, while issuing your smirking disdain for the comments of Sarah Palin or anyone else."

Kickin' and Screamin':

"Obama attacks yet another private American citizen when he attacks Sarah Palin. What a shame that he hates Americans more than our sworn enemies."

Jim Hoft:

"Sarah Palin clobbered Barack Obama today in her speech at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. The former Alaska Governer responded to the “community organizer’s” attack on her nuclear experience. Obama just couldn’t resist her bait. She hooked him yesterday… She reeled him in today."

Moonbattery:

"As if a community organizer knows so much more about nuclear policy than the former governor of the state in which a significant portion of our nuclear deterrent is based. Anyway, I think what Sarah Palin said isn't based on any kind of pointy-headed analysis of nuclear disarmament strategy, but out of common sense --- something the pissy little twerp in the Oval Office knows nothing about. Does anyone besides me remember the debate with Hillary in 2008 when the question came up, 'How would you respond to a WMD attack against an American city?' And Obama babbled on and on about FEMA without ever once mentioning retaliation?"

JammieWearingFool:

"He's finally found an enemy [Sarah Palin] that he can actually react to... He's quite the tough guy responding to the women."

Mark Noonan:

"What is really bad here is how clearly Sarah Palin has got under Obama’s skin – if his fellow Americans can rattle him this badly, imagine what our foreign enemies can do? A President who can’t graciously react to domestic criticism is not a President we can rely on in a foreign crisis."

Scared Monkeys:

"Oh how Sarahcuda gets under Obama’s skin... Obama’s need to respond to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s comments regarding Obama’s shift in nuclear strategy purely shows just how big Sarah Palin has become to Obama and Democrats."

Wesley Pruden:

"The Democrats mock Sarah Palin's credentials... but their man's lengthening record in dealing with the rest of the world gets scarier and scarier... Presidents before him understood the value of discretion and secrecy. Why tell prospective enemies what, exactly, you'll do in such circumstances? Such reticence would be difficult for a president in love with the sound of his voice, confident in his ability to make a speech so pretty that it would melt the hearts of the vilest villains. But keeping your mouth shut can be smart strategy."

Joshuapundit:

"Common sense tells you that you never take your options off the table or tie your hands in advance. Which shows, if nothing else who has more of that priceless commodity, Sarah Palin or Barack Hussein Obama."

Another Black Conservative:

"I fail to see the benefit in placing limits on our nuclear response. America has nukes as a deterrent. To maximize the potency of that deterrent, we keep nations in the dark about when and where we would use a nuke... So why deplete the potency of our threat by explicitly spelling out when we would respond with nukes?"

Dad29:

"What a turkey this guy really is... 'The last I checked, Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues,' Obama said in an interview with ABC News. Umnhhh... and being C-in-C made Obama an 'expert' on nukes? Or was it his experience in "community organizing"? Or perhaps his time in the Illinois legislature? The US Senate? Puhleeze."

Weasel Zippers:

"Since when is the Community-Organizer-In-Chief an expert at anything except the Alinsky Method?"

BBCW:

"Sarah Palin's analogy is valid. You don't pick on the biggest kid on the playground, and now Obama is just asking to be 'punched in the face.' Of course, while the rest of us worried, Obama will be lifted in Air Force One far above what could come if this naive attitude that's breaking down our military persists."

And even some on the Left can see that Obama is in way over his head...

No More Mister Nice Blog:

"No, no, no. You're the president of the United States. You wave it off dismissively and just say, 'Well, a lot of people say a lot of things, and I have more important things to concern myself with than what somebody says in some speech.' That thwarts Palin's desire to make you her debating partner. Which is not to say you allow her to go unchallenged. But you don't do it. You're supposed to have sharp-elbowed low- and mid-level surrogates... "
