Obama Limits When U.S. Would Use Nuclear Arms

[lbryce]

WASHINGTON — President Obama said Monday that he was revamping American nuclear strategy to substantially narrow the conditions under which the United States would use nuclear weapons, even in self defense.

But the president said in an interview that he was carving out an exception for “outliers like Iran and North Korea” that have violated or renounced the main treaty to halt nuclear proliferation.

Discussing his approach to nuclear security the day before formally releasing his new strategy, Mr. Obama described his policy as part of a broader effort to edge the world toward making nuclear weapons obsolete, and to create incentives for countries to give up any nuclear ambitions. To set an example, the new strategy renounces the development of any new nuclear weapons, overruling the initial position of his own defense secretary.

Mr. Obama’s strategy is a sharp shift from those adopted by his predecessors and seeks to revamp the nation’s nuclear posture for a new age in which rogue states and terrorist organizations are greater threats than traditional powers like Russia and China.

It eliminates much of the ambiguity that has deliberately existed in American nuclear policy since the opening days of the Cold War. For the first time, the United States is explicitly committing not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states that are in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, even if they attacked the United States with biological or chemical weapons, or launched a crippling cyberattack.

Those threats, he argued, could be deterred with “a series of graded options” -- a combination of old and newly designed conventional weapons.

“I’m going to preserve all the tools that are necessary in order to make sure that the American people are safe and secure,” Mr. Obama said during the interview in the Oval Office.

Carlton Fisk, Frank “the Big Hurt” Thomas, Tom Seaver, Rich “Goose” Gossage – all names that any Chicago White Sox fan knows by heart. But today, while being interviewed by Washington Nationals booth announcers Bob Carpenter and Rob Dibble, President Barack Obama couldn’t muster up a single name. The Commander-in-Chief, who has referred to himself a “White Sox kid” during the interview, was hard pressed to name a favorite player on a team that has been around since the late 19th century. Are you surprised?

A fraud is running ruining our country. Pray for Our Nation!

Mommy, Why Does Obama Help Terrorists?

[little jeremiah]

See comment 80. It was indeed planned.

[Jagdgewehr]

We’re dead.

[StopObama2012]

Don’t worry, McLame and Grahamnesty will save us.

[jersey117]

Looks like he’s going to let that 3:00 am call on the red phone go unanswered. Scary times.

[okie01]

What is he thinking???

He has no regard for the United States of America.

And...he is absolutely the stupidest man ever elected President.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I’d rather ‘be dead than red’, babes. They’ll just have to come and get me. Frikkin’ bastards. DAMN I’m mad.

[CincyRichieRich]

Don’t kid yourselves folks this has been planned and on the books for some time. It is being released now to knock the Alcoa, Deere, Caterpillar, AT&T, and other corporations who are announcing huge hits from Obamacare.

This position is in place and there’s not a damn thing we can do about it — even if we win in November. Stay focused on healthcare and the numbers being put out by these companies. People losing jobs, doctors leaving their practices, retirees being dumped onto the public dole, increases in ‘real taxes’ to the middle class, and an ultimate road to rationing are the reason Congress needs to changes hands in November. We need to keep that front and center and not let Obama and his MSM shills move on to this and the next topic surely to hit at the beginning of next week.

They are rolling out their campaign to sell Obamacare by drowning out all the bad news with the help of MSM. Don’t let it happen. Keep your letters on the Health care monstrosity. Keep your calls about how much money this will cost and how care has to suffer - the numbers don’t lie. 30 Million new patients and only hundreds of doctors to take them.

Agreed, BUT:

Every stinking citizen in the US needs to know about this no nukes, no defense; CNN isn’t even saying a peep about it.

This needs to go viral!

"When 0bama is revealed publically to be Constitutionally unqualified, and his past history is made clear, he’ll be out of the White House and if Biden is up next (no telling, if 0bama is dragged out before his term is up), the Dems will be castrated anyway."

How can a USURPER command our armed forces?
How can a USURPER sign any treaties with foreign governments?
How can a USURPER sign anything into law, let alone the health care monstrosity?

HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN'S STATUS BE "GOVERNED" BY GREAT BRITAIN?

 

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate.html

Factcheck.org goes on to say this about Obama Sr., Jr. and the British Nationality Act of 1948:

In other words, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the UKC.

So, back to the question: "HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN'S STATUS BE "GOVERNED" BY GREAT BRITAIN?"
It can't. Of course not. Yet, right there, on his campaign web site F.T.S., it's stated that a foreign government "governed" Barry from birth and the reason it did, was that Barry inherited that foreign citizenship by way of his foreign national father (no matter where he was born), a fact backed up by Factcheck.org. Assuming, of course, that Sr. was his legal father at birth.
How, then, could he possibly be a "Natural Born Citizen" of the U.S.?
Barry Soetoro, the divided citizen at birth!

Furthermore:  Hawaii's Territorial Law, Chapter 57 - "VITAL STATISTICS, I", shown beginning pg 23 of 29, (the law in effect in 1961) allowed baby's born anywhere in the world to be eligible to apply for a Hawaiian birth certificate based on the word of 1 relative.

Bottom line: Even IF (big IF) he was born in HI, he inherited his father's foreign citizenship as well, making him a US citizen by US law and the subject of the crown of her majesty the Queen of England by inheritance and England's law. He could not be considered a Natural Born Citizen as known by and as intended by the framers. Even the modern day State Department rules discusses the problems associated with dual citizenship:

7 FAM 081: U.S. Policy on Dual Nationality:

(e)While recognizing the existence of dual nationality, the U.S. Government does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Dual nationality may hamper efforts by the U.S. Government to provide diplomatic and consular protection to individuals overseas. When a U.S. citizen is in the other country of their dual nationality, that country has a predominant claim on the person.

...

the U.S. Supreme Court has stated that dual nationality is a "status long recognized in the law" and that "a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both." See Kawakita v. United States, 343 U.S. 717 (1952).

FWIW, I am not praying for Obama in church on Sundays, that God will enlighten him, as has been my custom for our political leaders all my life.

Instead, I am praying for my country.

[unixfox]

I’m pertty sure if we were attacked with nukes our GENERALS would simply say FUBO!

[omegadawn]

If obama is found to be constitutionally unqualified( artice 2) which he is ,then it is the duty of congress to VOID his election and everything associated with it. This includes the removal of biden, as he was never constitutionally choosen as vice- president. The legal president would be the runnerup ( John McCain) who could not possible be as bad as obama( I hope). Then pelosi and reid need to be tried for treason.

From "45 Communist Goals":
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

The runner up??

[ezfindit]

Obama is SUICIDAL! He endangering ALL of us! God help us.

[dandiegirl]

Can he do something like this without going thru Congress? How can he just decide to this and it be so? Does he really have the power?
