Blog Guy, I’ve read about the so-called “nuclear football” that goes everywhere with the U.S. President in case he needs to authorize a nuclear war. Are there any pictures of this doomsday gadget?
Photos of the super-secret device are very rare, but we got some at the White House a couple of days ago. Here you go.
Gosh, I guess I didn’t expect it to look so much like a, you know, football.
Exactly. Nobody expects that, so it’s a brilliant security ploy. It appears that President Obama was feeling a little playful, and he tossed it around with his aides.
I have to say that frightens me. Couldn’t that be very dangerous?
Only if it lands right on the big red button, and what are the chances of that?
