Presidential Snark

Sarah Palin was asked the other night (by Sean Insanity, natch) to comment on the landmark nuclear arms treaty President Obama signed with Russia this week...
[Palin said] Obama's new nuclear policy was "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 gonna retaliate.'"
The President, in turn, was asked to comment on Palin's analysis:

"OBAMA: Last I checked, Sarah Palin's not much of an expert on nuclear issues."

STEPHANOPOULOS: But the string of criticism has been out there among other Republicans as well. They think you're restricting use of nuclear weapons too much.

OBAMA: And what I would say to them is that if the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff are comfortable with it, I'm probably going to take my advice from them and not from Sarah Palin.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But not concerned about her criticisms?

OBAMA: No."
