President Barack Obama dismissed former less
than one-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin who naively equated his nuclear arms
policy with playground bullying. During an interview today on "Good
Morning America" on ABC Host George
Stephanopoulos asked specifically whether or not he
had a response to Palin, one of his potential 2012 opponents, Obama said he had
none.
"I
really have no response," he said. "Because last I checked, Sarah
Palin's not much of an expert on nuclear issues."
Obama
unveiled his new strategy ahead of signing a nuclear arms reduction treaty with
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during a summit these past two days in the
Czech Republic. World leaders will also gather in Washington next week for a
summit on nuclear security.
The
president said that he wouldn't rely on the GOP for advice when he has access
to top military and civilian officials.
"What
I would say to them is that if the secretary of defense and the chairman of the
Joints Chiefs of Staff are comfortable with it, I'm probably going to take my
advice from them and not from Sarah Palin," President Obama said.
