STEPHANOPOULOS:I want to get to some of those broader issues [of nuclear proliferation]. Because you're also facing criticism on that. Sarah Palin, taking aim at your decision to restrict the use of nuclear weapons. Your pledge not to strike nations, non-nuclear nations, who abide by the nonproliferation treaty. Here's what she said. She said, "It's unbelievable, no other administration would do it." And then she likened it to kids on the playground. She said you're like a kid who says, "Punch me in the face, and I'm not going to retaliate." Your response?

OBAMA: I really have no response. Because 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.


Apparently, Obama hit Palin's sensitive spot....her response:

"Palin fired back this afternoon in a speech before the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, suggesting Obama didn't have much experience with nuclear policy.

Palin mocked "all of the vast nuclear experience [Obama] acquired as a community organizer, as a part time senator and a full time candidate."

She also swiped at the Obama administration for disrespecting Afghan President Hamid Karzai.


"They treated the Afghan President Hamid Karzai poorly and acted surprised when he responded in kind," she said."


And now Karzai is her personal hero. Seriously.

* An Israeli delegation was scheduled to attend President Obama's nuclear security summit next week. Prime Minister Netanyahu, fearing talk about his undeclared nuclear arsenal, is now refusing to participate.

A new Fox News poll shows that more Americans have a favorable view of the IRS (49%) than of the tea party movement (36%).

It's not just that people don't know what the tea party movement is. The net favorable rating (favorable minus unfavorable) of the IRS is +11% (49%/38%) compared to +2% for the tea party movement (36%/34%).
