WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's pledge to seek a worldwide ban on weapons in space marks a dramatic shift in U.S. policy while posing the tricky issue of defining whether a satellite can be a weapon.
Moments after Obama's inauguration last week, the White House website was updated to include policy statements on a range of issues, including a pledge to restore U.S. leadership on space issues and seek a worldwide ban on weapons that interfere with military and commercial satellites.

Somewhere the Sovie... Russians and Chinese are smiling.
anything to bring the US down
He just gets dumber and dumber...
It’s not dumb if your interest is harming the US. It makes perfect sense to him.
Cue Darth Vader’s heavy breathing...
The sellout begins.
Chamberlain comes right to mind
Yes we’ll stop all of ours while the other countries say they’ll stop.
Yea like that will stop(sarc) it was like this with N Korea, Clinton gives them incentives , money etc but they say one thing and do another .
Our enemies must have had the biggest party in their history when they learned phony was going to take charge
...half a week in office, he’s shored up terrorist rights and worked on this crap....
The banning of space born weaponry could included the banning of ICBMs as well.
Forget about that one.
Wait til the Chinese or Soviets kill a comm sat and zerO’s fancy communications equipment won’t work. How will he propagandize the masses or control everything if the nets go down? This is the science and tech-savvy POTUS, ya know.
As an alternative scenario, let’s say they deploy a comm sat aimed at eavesdropping on our secure communications. Not that they won’t get loads of intel just from hacking the Blackberry.
I am just a peon. It isn’t my place to question these giant intellects. I already have a screaming headache every time I read another of this administation’s great moves.
Wonder if their first target will be that big house that is white?
Always leave your edge at home. Obama is a BLITHERING IDIOT!
Same here. I just can't read any threads about him anymore.
I don't even know why I read this one.
I Think I'll go back to cleaning the cat litter, that will be a pleasant diversion.
Guv’mnt needs to fund making’ roads and putting in picnic tables. Much more important for a economic recovery.
I don’t think he’s dumb (don’t think he’s a genius, either, btw). He told us what his agenda ws going to be and most of our fellow citizens just didn’t hear him or believe him.
I’m looking forward to hearing how he will position this one. How can he make it look like he wants the safety of our country when he flat-out bans our weapons?
Actually, I think he's pretty smart to fanagled his way into the Oval Office. The real problem is how naive and arrogant he is. That will be his un-doing, or at least our nation's un-doing.
