China or Russia could attack a US city with impunity because Obama has already said that the US is big enough to absorb the damage without retaliating.

If the President of the United States, the Commander in Chief of our armed forces, has publicly stated that a foreign power can attack us with impunity, he should have immediately been dragged out of his office, court martialed, and put on trial for treason. (I know there are hundreds of other things impeachment worthy, but that one right there absolutely takes the cake.)
I do NOT understand how he was able to say that publicly without senior military taking steps. That is the most treasonous thing any president has ever said!! He practically invited a foreign power to attack us!
Arggg. 3 more years...... I hope we all survive.
“That is the most treasonous thing any president has ever said!! He practically invited a foreign power to attack us!”
It certainly is heartless. And if GWB had said it the press would be saying, “It is now 1,339 days since President Bush invited a foreign attack on US soil that could kill CHILDREN and kittens and possibly a puppy named “Rover.”” I’m thinking charitably that what he meant was the US could take time to respond “appropriately” possibly with a sharply worded letter. But it was an incredibly idiotic thing to say. Bush would have said, and in fact did, “Anybody who attacks the US is going to die.” (He may have worded it more diplomatically, I can’t recall.)
