WASHINGTON, Ill. (AP) - Sarah Palin criticized President Barack Obama on Saturday for saying America is a military superpower "whether we like it or not," saying she was taken aback by his comment.

"I would hope that our leaders in Washington, D.C., understand we like to be a dominant superpower," the former Alaska governor said. "I don't understand a world view where we have to question whether we like it or not that America is powerful."

Obama said earlier this week that the United States must do its best to resolve conflicts around the world before they grow too serious.
"It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them," Obama said. "And that ends up costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure."

Strength through superior firepower. People won't usually attack a foe who out-mans and out-guns them. LibTURDs can't comprehend this simple fact. Even a 5th grader knows you don't pick a fight with the biggest kid in the school yard.

And one of the reasons O-hole is always bowing is because he has no spine.

Dear Barruh,

I need to add something to your required reading list.  Not to worry, it's short, and shouldn't take more than 10-15 seconds to scroll across TOTUS on your next campaign stop/speech/slam on Tea Parties, Fox, or whoever pissed in your Wheaties that morning.  You ready?
