Obama, Palin trade words over nuclear policy
NEW ORLEANS — President Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are sniping at each other over nuclear policy — a potential preview of the next race for the White House.
The former GOP vice presidential candidate started the war of words this week when she suggested that Obama was weak on nuclear defense.
Obama shot back while overseas to sign a nuclear reduction deal with Russia, calling Palin “not much of an expert” on nuclear issues.
Palin counterpunched Friday while addressing the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans. Clearly mocking the president, she dismissed the “vast nuclear experience that he acquired as a community organizer.”
A preview of 2012? Obama has not announced whether he’s seeking re-election and Palin has not said whether she will run.
