"Last I checked, Sarah Palin's not much of an expert on nuclear issues," Obama told ABC News.

The conservative darling told Fox News on Wednesday that Obama was naive to make a deal with the Russians.

1. Now that's a perfect comeback. Throw it back on miss brainless to defend her lack of brains

understanding and background

[tammywammy]

2. And she's just wrong, Reagan would have supported this

Such a stupid woman.

[NJmaverick]

3. Stupid and evil

a bad combination

[Delphinus]

9. Thanks -

that's exactly what jumped into my mind.

[NeedleCast]

4. I Bet The IceBilly Doesn't Know That Bush Signed a Larger Treaty with Russia

You couldn't fill a thimble with what this woman knows about foreign policy.

[tammywammy]

6. Well, Alaska is CLOSE to Russia

[midnight]

5. Hmm. She can't do her job, but she can tell the president how to do his?

[lonestarnot]

7. Only expertise is wardrobing and someone else picked out the ugly crap.

[onehandle]

8. Sarah Palin sure hates that Liberal Ronald Reagan. nt

[Poll_Blind]

10. My only regret is that I wasn't the FIRST to REC this!

Really, what is she an expert one?

:shrug:

11. Good answer, incredibly stupid series of questions

Stephanopolous approached the question three (count 'em!) different ways. While it's good that the President declined to get drawn into the vapidness, the question I have is why in the hell Stephanopolous thought Sarah Palin's thoughtless opinion was worth three questions in the first place.

12. And The Great Unhinged Love Her For It...

The teabaggers represent something they say they don't...Class Warfare. These people resent "elitist" things like education cause it means free thinking and that doesn't jive with the absolutist world they've been conned into believing in. Thus they glam onto "leaders" who are the antithesis of intelligent..."someone you can have a beer with"...as if repealing any intellectual discourse is a virtue and living in a talking point world is a lot easier to deal with. Inversely, they detest President Obama cause he is educated...even worse, an educated black man...a Harvard Law educated black man. You don't get more elitist than than.

While I applaud the President for the well deserved Mooselini smack-down, I expect the corporate media to chase this as their next shiny toy and doing their usual false equivelency game (known as "fair and balanced") that somehow will give Bible Spice's stupid and ignorant views on this subject credibility on the same level as this administration.

13. I wish he had just said.."Sarah who?"

[livetohike]

14. Perfect response

I wish she would just STFU already. She should go back to Alaska and play hockey mom.

[EnlightenedOne]

15. It was perfect

absolutely perfect. Our President is one cool cat.

[Peacetrain]

16. I loved it.. right to the point

[struggle4progress]

17. That's SO unfair! She was born in Sandpoint, only an hour or two drive away from Moscow. Plus,

she got all that foreign policy experience in her years as governor: didn't she meet lots of people from countries like New Mexico back then?

[KonaKane]

18. He should have said he can see Sarah from his front porch.

That would have gotten a few laughs.
