The President was quick to acknowledge that his decision to hold on to the launch codes was unorthodox, but said that he was doing it to reassure the American people.
In recent weeks, there has been a rising level of alarm about who might have access to these codes going forward, Obama said.
As a result, it occurred to me that the safest thing would be if I just held on to them for the foreseeable future.
