Shelter mentality

Back from the past
Need a reset button, Barry?
For two years now Mr Barack Hussein Obama has accepted a Nobel Peace Prize for showing up for work, ran a reset button foreign policy, waffled on about a nuclear-free world while disarming no one except his own nation, all but abandoned missile defence, reached out his hand to the Mad Mullahs of Iran only to have it bitten, gave away the shop to Russia, apologised to the Chinese for American human rights, bowed to every emperor and autocrat on the planet, insulted America's closest allies, and treated the Jihadist War as something that would go away if he closed his eyes and wished really, really hard.

The result?  It looks as if Mr Soetoro is resigned to the Jihadists not only getting their hands on the bomb, but using it against the United States as well.  And his grand strategy for dealing with this?  To start a soft-pedal education program to tell the public how to survive after the inevitable (for him) A-bomb attack.  I guess Barry's learned that you can't stop nuclear explosions with lofty speeches.

Hows that for hope and change?

Update: Can't even get an invite to the party.

Coming from a scion of the crowd who demanded we surrender to the Soviets on the grounds that "a nuclear war cannot be won, and must never be fought", I'd find this funny if I didn't have such a strong sense of irony.

I might add that as somebody trained in civil defense in my college years, and to "duck and cover" as a toddler, I can assure you that you can't dodge, run, or slam a door faster than a nuclear event can irradiate you with its wavefront (assuming it doesn't just fry you on the spot). Put simply, if you can see it, and you're not already dead, you'd better assume you've still taken enough Greys to kill you, or at least make you very sick. When the tumult dies down, seek medical help.

The fact that The One and his minions do not understand this disappoints me, but does not actually surprise me.

I think the idea is, if you're in an outer region of the explosion, where you haven't been incinerated by the heat and the buildings haven't been knocked over by the shock waves, the most dangerous thing is going to be the fallout. So get under shelter until it stops raining down.

Sensible advice in case, you know, somebody who I don't know who it might be should drop a primitive bomb. That there are still several ways to keep this from happening, but Hussein Husseinovich chooses only to instruct us in the beast means of twisting around to kiss our own rear ends goodbye, is perhaps less sensible.

Update: well, the Brits already own at least one iPod (the one Husseinovich gave their queen), and they're all set for Region 1 DVDs (again, courtesy of the President of the US and A). So what's the point of inviting him again?
