"the nuclear threat from terrorists" I believe this is a real threat. How does spending a trillion dollars in Iraq make us safer from it? http:http://www.johnmitchell.org/wounded-american-soldier.jpg&imgrefurl=http://majorconflict.blogspot.com/2007/07/forever-damaged.html&h=689&w=448&sz=190&hl=en&start=10&sig2=2-8KPuexJ3TBHnVWkQ4UdQ&um=1&tbnid=pAKZ6o4hQArywM:&tbnh=139&tbnw=90&ei=jngCSIPoOIyypgTi14DqBw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwounded%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN

Davis apologizes for calling Obama ‘boy’ By Andy Barr Posted: 04/14/08 03:54 PM [ET] Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.) has apologized for using the word “boy” to describe Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) at a Republican fundraiser Saturday night in Kentucky. “I’m gonna tell you something. That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” Davis said, according to an audio recording of the event that was obtained by The Hill. The lawmaker told the crowd that he participated in “closed, highly classified national security simulations" with Obama. The comment, which was first reported by the Lexington Herald-Leader’s blog Pol Watchers, was met by laughter and applause. In the written apology to Obama, which he personally delivered to his Senate office, Davis wrote “my poor choice of words is regrettable and was in no way meant to impugn you or your integrity. I offer my sincere apology to you and ask for your forgiveness.” “It’s hard to tell what is more outrageous - Rep. Davis’s condescending and personal attack, or his absurd and offensive claim that Barack Obama is not prepared to defend America,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. Davis also called Obama a “snake oil salesman” whom he considers “unqualified to be president” and then touched on the “bitter” comment that has haunted Obama over the last few days. “If you go to the most expensive private school in Hawaii and then you go to Columbia University and Harvard Law School, you probably don’t understand normal Americans and I don’t think he does,” Davis said, noting Obama’s comments were recorded at a private fundraiser. thehill.com
