It wasn't Obama. Hillary was very nonchalant about it, though: https://www.reddit.com/r/DNCleaks/comments/5945ho/hillary_justified_bombing_iran_in_a_june_2013/

  Bombing nuclear enrichment facilities is not bombing them into the Stone Age.

    The "Stone Age" bit might have been a reference to the "totally obliterate them" comment she made in 2008 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O894bXmqqGU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O894bXmqqGU : > Well the question was ‘if Iran was to launch a nuclear response be, what would our response be’ and I want Iran to know that if I’m the President, we will attack Iran; and I want them to understand that because it does mean that they have to look very carefully at their society because whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the next 10 years during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That’s a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps would deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic.

  Fair enough. Probably worth pointing out that Trump's rhetoric in this regard isn't far removed from Clinton, though.
