Barack Obama admitted on national television that he wouldn't hesitate to send women into direct combat, as reported by The Weekly Standard on Feb. 3, 2013. (see video, lower left.)
During the course of an interview with CBS News, Obama was asked "Do you have any hesitation as commander in chief ordering women into combat?"
The same man who recently stated in an interview with the left-leaning New Republic magazine that if he had a son, he would have to "think long and hard" if he were ever let him play football, responded with "You know, I don't."
Back To The Video...
The Commander-in-Chief went on to state in his CBS interview:
"And you know -- I've said before, the greatest honor I have as president is being commander in chief."
In a somewhat telling insight to Obama's own physical condition, he readily admitted of an unnamed military Servicewoman assigned to the White House:
"And I meet extraordinary women in uniform who can do everything that a man can and more, and you know, one of my military aides is about five feet tall, probably weighs about 100 pounds.
You put a 50-pound pack on her and she can do things that you or me would keel over doing."
Obama also stretched the bounds of credibility when in the above cited interview with New Republic, he was asked if he ever handled firearms, to wit he replied:
"Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time."
