Reporting from Prague, Czech Republic With an agreement to scale back the weaponry of the world's two greatest nuclear powers, President Obama and Russian President Dimitry Medvedev signed a long-sought treaty that still will require the ratification of both governments.

One year after unveiling his vision here for a world without nuclear weapons, Obama returned this morning to sign a treaty with the Russian president that both sides call a major step forward on worldwide arms control.

I doubt it will even reach the Senate. Obama will circumvent it. Yes, I know about the rules. We saw the rules during Obamacare legislation.

I have heard no mention that Senate confirmation is needed. Perhaps the 0bama-trons have found a way to side-step that Constitutional requirement

I am still awaiting the explanation why we need a peace treaty with Russia, when we are not at war with Russia.
