WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama on Thursday made clear he was not going to take advice from Republican Sarah Palin when it comes to decisions about the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

Palin, the former vice presidential candidate, has not been shy about criticizing Obama's policies and this week weighed in on his revamped nuclear strategy, saying it was like a child in a playground who says 'punch me in the face, I'm not going to retaliate.'

"I really have no response to that. The last I checked, Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues," Obama said in an interview with ABC News.

Pressed further on Republican criticism that his strategy restricts the use of nuclear weapons too much, Obama added:

"What I would say to them 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."

3. As if anyone other than the media and the tea-baggers

take this fool (sarah) seriously. Asking him about her was an insult. She's an idiot.

4. He's not taking advice from anyone, credible or not

He sounds like Cheney all over again, with a PR flack to round off the rough edges and conceal the snarling snear.

9. He should've said...

"The last I checked, Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues, or anything else."

10. I liked the way he handled that..

Now I want to see how long it takes the big tough men of Fux News to call him a sexist, and all kinds of things cuz you know you can't insult their Messiah-ess. Especially coming from a Marxist, American hating, black Kenyan.*

They'll forget all the f'd up things they've said about Hillary, Pelosi and a host of other female Democrats. Our women are stronger than most/all of their men. All they do is whine and cry on the TV and Radio.

11. FYI to Sarah:

Ronald Reagan called for the abolishment of "all nuclear weapons," which he considered to be "totally irrational, totally inhumane, good for nothing but killing, possibly destructive of life on earth and civilization."
