U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis to Obama: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button

By John Amato

Dog Whistle Politics:

U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a "snake oil salesman" [at a Northern Kentucky Lincoln Day dinner].

He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a "highly classified, national security simulation" with Obama.

"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Davis said. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country."

UPDATE: Davis apologizes

That makes it all A-OK, I guess. I expect Obama to receive a ton of these apology letters as the days go by from the good old Republican Party.
