| Obama Begins Eliminating America's Nuclear Arsenal: A Deal With Russia |
| 2010-03-25 |
| WASHINGTON -- President Obama and his Russian counterpart, President Dmitri A. Medvedev, have broken through a logjam in their arms control negotiations and expect to sign a new treaty in Prague next month that would slash American and Russian nuclear arsenals, officials from both nations said Wednesday. Mr. Obama and Mr. Medvedev still need to talk once more to finalize the agreement, but officials were optimistic that the deal was nearly done. The two sides have discussed a signing ceremony in Prague in early April, marking the anniversary of the first meeting between the two presidents and of Mr. Obama's speech outlining his vision for eventually eliminating nuclear weapons. |

| #14 So how's the hope and change and Kumbaya thing working out for us? I see where General Electric is starting to use old Ronald Reagan video in their most recent commericials. Thought GE was really way in the bag for Obama. |

| #12 Ah am so happy we have a few of our own nukes for a rainy day. I never believed in Hillary's promise of a Nuclear Umbrella protecting Israel. Just give Bambi a couple more years and he will demolish the US from within - the US enemies do not have to do anything besides stand back and give Bambi enough rope to hang himself (and, unfortunately, take an entire nation down with him). On the funny side - Instead of reducing US nuke arsenal by dismantling some of it, I think the Iranians will be willing to buy some of it off Bambi's hands and pay handsomely for this gift ! |

| #11 Yucca Flats? You mean that government scam to fleece $34 billion from nuclear power generators? |

| #10 You'll recall the runner-up for worst president in history* gave up breeder reactors so that others would follow our lead. As a result, we have gobs of low-level nuclear waste laying about waiting for a repository. Ya think Yucca Flats will get approved this year? *For those of you just joining us here, that'd be James Earl Carter, POTUS from 1980-1984. Also a one-term wonder. |

#9 DMFD, I think Obama thinks or believes that, if America leads by example and gives up our nukes, the rest of the world will follow and give up theirs. He does not believe anything of the sort! He is being directed by unseen forces inimical to our survival. He is systematically breaking us down for our eventual destruction. The Left have been setting the stage for this over decades. They are now playing their end game. |

| #7 I'm thinking there are going to be layoffs in Oak Ridge; maybe other nuke producing facilities. |

| #6 DMFD, I think Obama thinks or believes that, if America leads by example and gives up our nukes, the rest of the world will follow and give up theirs. In some kind of fantasy world, that might be so. Unfortunately for us, this is the real world. |

| #5 So in Obama's utopia Iran & North Korea have nukes and we don't? |

| #4 John Bolton vehemently warned against this. |

| #3 I believe we are well on the way toward eliminating Obama. Any treaty with Russia will require Senate confirmation. He better hope he can get it before the Senate before the election. |

| #2 Another Obama Giveaway to the world's dictators and odious regimes. Unfortunately, this Senate doesn't know the meaning of Advise and Consent. The sad part is that Russia can't maintain her current arsenal and would have drastically cut theirs anyway. Not that Putin's KGB w/ a country is in any way, shape or form equal to the USA. |
