Obama: "Last I checked, Sarah Palin isn't much of an expert on Nuclear Issues."

After Obama signed the arms reduction treaty with Russia, which would reduce nuclear stockpiles in each country from around 2200 warheads to about 1500 (and also would thaw the Bush era neo-cold war with the Kremlin), Palin gave her typically nuanced take on the treaty:

You know that's kinda like getting out there on the playground, a bunch of kids ready to fight and one of the kids saying 'Go ahead, punch me in the face and I'm not going to retaliate. Go ahead and do what you want to with me.'"

In an interview with ABC, Obama zinged Palin and suggested that the country was better off with him taking advice on nuclear security from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense (as opposed to the host of an Alaska-themed reality TV show)
