He’s acting contrary to his role as Commander-in-Chief.

[TomasUSMC]

We disarm while the rest of the world arms?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

On these issues we have more in common that differences, says President Obama after meeting President Medvedev.

I am reminded of an old Cold War joke.

American: We have total freedom of speech. We can criticize our leaders, for example.
Russian: We have freedom of speech also! We can criticize your leaders.

Thus Obama wants cap-and-trade that will cripple our economy and Russia wants us to have cap-and-trade.

[johniegrad]

Obama needs to go.

[Jewbacca]

It makes sense if you support Islamist power.

[johniegrad]

Is this the agreement that he wants to bypass the Senate to approve “temporarily”?

[elhombrelibre]

He only favors the mad mullahs having nukes.

[GraceG]

I say we keep about 500 nukes on hand, that is two for every country on earth roughly and enough supplies to build 1,000 more in very short order (2 weeks to 2 months).

We also need some setup for asteroid insurance as well.

[TChris]

In Russia-speak, this translates to: “You go and cut your stockpile while we laugh at you.”

[RC2]

It’s easy for Russia to cut back. Most of their weapons are rusting away. The same goes for their Navy. Most of their Subs are rust buckets. They will show that they are cutting back but they will simply get rid of their problem weapons.

[La Lydia]

Yes, this is the one.

[LottieDah]

Anyone who does not love America to defend her has NO business being President of the United States.

[sam_paine]

Nonsense. We have ZERO strategic nukes available for our defense until at least January 2013.

Obama would never use them, in retaliation or otherwise. They are all useless for now.

[prophetic]

the smiling serpentine personality of the anti-christ continues on its unrelenting pursuit to America's destruction by now cutting our nuclear arsenal.

Btw, when has the commies (Russians) ever held up to their 'treaties'? I really suspect that they have quite a bit hidden in the Ural mountains to spring on us someday.

[shadeaud]

He'll also give up our missile defense shield and drone aircraft. Poland's defense will be up to the Poles. He may have also given up air space over Iraq for Israel aircraft. Will someone please prove he's not a natural born citizen

[Positive]

Wow! I think that's great!

If we were to engage in all out nuclear war with Russia about 95% of theirs would explode if their silos or just fizzle. The rest would miss or we would shoot them down.

Our 1500 would push Russia back the stone ages.

And think about it, any Russian missiles that got over would be aimed at the blue areas of the blue states...

[Sub-Driver]

Actually this has been under negotiation before he took office because the treaty is going to expire the end of this year....

[texrepub76]

Why doesnt Capt Knucklehead just meet with Putin instead of dealing with him vicariously through Dmitri...

This TOTUS isnt even treading water anymmore- he is so far in over his head its not even funny.

[BenLurkin]

America’s enemies want us to disarm.
