Obama: Hey, Sarah! Gates is comfy with my nukes plan; Gates: No, I’m not!

Sarah Palin drives the left nuttier than they already are.  B.O. has lowered himself frequently since being coronated last year, displaying without question (the science is settled) that he is a small, petty man, unfit for the presidency.  Oprompter said this last week in response to Palin’s claims that B.O.’s nuke policy was wussified:

The last I checked, Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues…What I would say to [critics] is, is that if the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff are comfortable with it, I’m probably going to take my advice from them and not from Sarah Palin.

Makes sense to listen to the SecDef over a pundit, right?  Of course!  There’s just one problem: he didn’t listen to his SecDef!

Discussing his approach to nuclear security the day before formally releasing his new strategy, Mr. Obama described his policy as part of a broader effort to edge the world toward making nuclear weapons obsolete, and to create incentives for countries to give up any nuclear ambitions. To set an example, the new strategy renounces the development of any new nuclear weapons, overruling the initial position of his own defense secretary.

Ergo, Palin’s characterization of President Training Wheels’ nuke policy was correct.

BTW, Palin retorted thusly:

Palin shot back later at a speech to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, further mocking Obama’s earlier career and “all the vast nuclear experience that he acquired as a community organizer.”

Heh.  In fairness to B.O., he does have a cursory knowledge of bombs, when you  consider that he’s best buds with Bill Ayers.
