  1. The photo looks like old Vladimir is either passed out or sleeping. Too much vodka for lunch I guess.
  3. The prospect of the big bad government have fewer weapons should thrill the wing-nuts.

    But, of course, if the black man in the White House is for it, Faux News and the un-intelligensia bloggers will be against it.

  4. This makes sense. How many do you really need really. It has been a waste of resources no matter how you look at it. It still assures mutual destruction and gives plenty of deterrent for China Pakistan and other up and coming threats. There is nothing to lose here and much to gain. But since Obama proposes it I am sure it wont be received well. I do hope it happens since its such a waste.
  5. Putin, I told you it would be easier once I got in ?????????

  6. OH NO !!! More of Obama's vision for America, That world socialist elitest will not be happy until the United States is no more. The fools who voted for him thought he was only going to re distribute wealth to the leakers of America, they didnt realize that what Obama really meant was to redistribute the wealth of the US to the world, leaving US to be nothing but a third world dung heap. He has no love for loyalty to or even UNDERSTANDING of what it means to be an American, of the values and courage that it took to create and sustain the United States of America. He is the worst thing ever to happen to this country. His economic policies, bankrupt US, his world geopolitical views weaken US and his Obamacare will put US all at the mercy of death panels. Unless Iran blows US up with a terrorist delivered nuclear weapon.

  7. Ronald Reagan, former American president, respected world wide for his military buildup and protecting the citizens of the United States.

    Barack Obama, a president that is a kitty, respected by no one in the world. Terrorism is propagating and proliferating in various pockets of the world. Our United States of America is next.

    Nuclear strength is a necessity for our own well being.

    With Obama and the bombing of American citizens with drones within the US border, this so called leader has gone too far.

    God help us!

  8. We will still have plenty of nuclear weapons to annihilate anyone who dares threaten us. But of course, if there's a chance to paint the man who sends drones overseas to kill Al Qaeda members as soft on terror, the Republican Party will run with it. Flimsy evidence is better than no evidence at all.

  9. Obama proposed it, so it will be savaged by the right. It will be savaged because it supposedly makes us weaker but also because it goes against the only Keynesian spending program the right endorses -- spending tons of money on the military and the jobs that spending creates.
