Classified, national security simulation

Kentucky Republican Rep. Geoff Davis needs to think twice about the words he uses.

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."

Davis has apologized for referring to Obama as "boy."

I'm not sure that I approve of Davis leaking even the existence of a "highly classified, national security simulation," but I'm also very curious as to what Obama was doing as part of this simulation that got Davis so worried.

For the record, Fox News' Brit Hume reported that the Obama campaign had called the allegation: "Condescending, personal, absurd and offensive."

Missing from the response: "False."
