Japan's top-selling newspaper reports that North Korea, under intense pressure by the international community to halt its rogue nuclear program, may fire a long-range ballistic missile toward Hawaii. The Yomiuri daily, however, notes that the missile lacks the capability to reach the state's main islands. Obama declared North Korea a "grave threat."

GASP, you mean Obamie the Commie won't protect his "supposed" birth place? The little Teletubby in N. Korea is a comic figure at best and a stark raving maniac at worst. No one can predict what a fool like he is would do. But in all honesty, what would President EmptySuit do? He has no affinity for self-protection, no loyalty to the US, nothing but apologies, groveling, and arrogance in his stockpile of weapons. No wonder Iran, N Korea, and others soon to jump on the bandwagon, feel emboldened to do what they want. Even Pravda and the Russians are laughing at the US for their choice of a puppet president. The EU, Russia, N. Korea, Iran ... all think Obamie is a joke. He is that, the biggest joke played on the undereducated, bleeding-heart American masses who have finally displayed their collect lack of value on the global market.

I think we need to take every threat seriously, especially when it comes from a super-paranoid like North Korea! Look what happened on 9/11 because we didnt take Al-Queda seriously.

I think North Korea should be made aware that any attack would ensure their complete destruction...no pussyfooting around, communication should not have any room for intrepretation....simply any attack on any ally, territory of the United States will result in their destruction period..no conventional forces will be used to topple his regime...this will be the end of their world as they know it...

Answered: Yes. Obama should take North Korea's threat seriously.
why should he care about Hawai'i? it's not like he was born there or anything. he has no attachments to the place so i guess that is why NK decided to target that state first.
if anything they will just dock a boat there with a nuke on board and detonate it. you don't have targeting issues that way nad your target is assured. not to mention they can say it was one of our own reactors that malfunctioned in one of our shipps that did the deed and set off debates as to the safety of our fleet and have it decommissioned. that would put our Navy back 50 yrs compaired to the rest of the world.

i could go on and on about this crap. i don't think BHO has a vested interest in America at all. he has done everything in his power to demean, deface, defunct and destroy our international standing, safety and security.

he is, in such a short time, the absolute worst president we have ever had... and that is even taking into account jimmy carter!!

You are so full of it. Do you know for sure that President Obama was not born in Hawaii and anyway what makes you think he sould have been born there just to care about it. Carter was sure a hell of a lot better President than the Bushs he didn't sell American down the drain and say 'WE ARE AT WAR' which has killed so man of our service people for a war that should have never taken place like sonny bush did. You should check and see what crap Obama came in to and he is trying to do his best and bring America back which we all know has been let go for the past 8 years. You must be a R and have money because otherwise you would see that President Obama is doing what is best for America

actually my wife is losing her business because of the BHO policies... even AIG has told her over the phone to thank BHO for her rate hikes on her workes comp insurance payments. you must be a resident of the socialist republic of california, you sound like you come from there.

first off... i was in the military and he has no respect for those who protect YOUR freedoms...
second... do you really think i would wish harm to any single individual in the US... let alone the destruction of an entire city?!?!
you have no sense of sarcasm or more than likely no sense of humor. the irony is that "people like you" are why we have what we have here today... a failure to communicate...
you read what you want and damn the rest...
if you didn't serve this country it shouldn't bar you from being a citizen but you should be grateful to those wh did and do serve this great nation and don't say subversive shit like we shouldn't be in any war anywhere. that undermines our troops and their efforts to fight that enemy which sees us (the western world) as an abstical in their way to a single world religion (a religion forced upon the world by the sword).

i don't even know why i even answered you because i just realized this was a colossal waste of my time... i have work to do...

This type of threat should always be taken seriously. Consider that North Korea has already tested these weapons. We know that they have them. We can only guess at how many.
