Obama did not mean to say (or for you to hear) that there was a loose nuke problem and that he was worried about a loose nuke more than Russia. But that he was more worried about something that is clearly not a current threat than he does about Russia's threat level.
Okay that sounded messy so let me make it simpler for you guys by saying what he really said and doing so using something else.
---I am more worried about the sun not rising tomorrow than I am worried about Russia being a threat.---
He did not say "There is a loose nuke and intelligence that Manhattan has been targeted and this causes me much more concern that Russia at the moment".

Having just saw the section of the speech he was giving I was amazed at how out context the OP really is.
These two scenarios are not the same:
1. The POTUS saying out of nowhere "I am concerned about a nuke in Manhattan"
2. The POTUS answering a question about how concerned he is with the actions of Russia, "Russia is doing something wrong but it's not my biggest safety concern. I am more concerned with a nuke going off in Manhattan than I am with the actions of Russia"
They are not the same and people answer questions like this on a daily basis. Hell I have had questions like that asked of me with information to my specific field and I answered in essentially the exact same manner. Does that mean I am setting my company up for a false flag?
Context is key when reporting information and in this case the context of the statement was not given. The OP left out a key word in what was said and that was more.
I am not a fan of this current President but their are people here that would find something wrong if he said , "The Sky is blue"

What no one understands, let me spell it for you: why in eff name would he use such analogy with such a topic?
Because he thinks Americans are smarter than they are? I have no idea why. He has made other analogies that were taken out of context as well. Seems to be a bit of his nature.

Obama gets Daily Presidential Briefings all the time that talk about loose nukes, smuggled nukes, terrorist nuke plans, etc. It's a nifty way for the CIA and NSA to keep control over him. It's a wonder every President since Eisenhower hasn't spent the entire four to eight years hiding under the Resolute Desk.

Because the people who voted for him don't have race issues.
We didn't want a republican in the white house . More people wanted the republicans out than not. Those of us who voted for him don't have a race issue. Liberals and the left are known for tolerance and forward thinking. The race issue is with the losers of the election. Always has been. I'm a democrat living in Virginia. I know what the popular view of this president is by the right. It's the same as it is for any African American. They still wish they'd won the war and could own them. I see it every day. My boss could be president... of the klan.

Please refrain from making blanket statements about how Americans feel especially in light of the fact that the man and his choice for vice president were elected twice.
I don't think Mr. Biden is a fool. I'm American and you don't speak for me.

History Channel has been talking about Rogue Nuclear Bombs in Manhattan for years now. But to hear this from the Presidents #ing mouth scares the # out of me. Something most of recently happened and they are just covering it up for the President to say something like this.
