   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.”

   An aide to Davis, Jeremy Hughes, declined to comment on the remark, and didn’t dispute the accuracy of the quote.

   UPDATE: Davis apologizes.

   **Why is this a story? That some Republican doesn’t like the black democratic candidate? Pssssh. Please. You want cranky, mis-speaking Hillary with her finger on the button? Or warmonger McCain? No Drama Obama is the only candidate left who has any sense and doesn’t think the electorate is stupid. Obama ‘08
