<<<Obama supporters, are you sure this is what you want? Try to put yourselves in the shoes of the Chinese, the North Koreans, the Russians. Would they vote for this? Would they take advantage of it?>>>

I am not an Obama supporter. There is nothing in that Youtube video that I object to.

Precisely, we have the opportunity to negotiate with the Chinese, North Koreans, and the Russians in a powerful position of strength.

We can cut down on our wasteful spending and get concessions from the Chinese, North Koreans, and Russians.

I understand these actors are difficult to deal with and the only time you can deal with them is when we are in a position of strength - which we are in.

We can dictate terms now or fight them later.

We can end nuclear proliferation.

We can make the world better.

We tried George W. Bush's way of doing things. It didn't work.

We were better off when Clinton was running things.

I only wish we can go back and let the Clintons continue what they were doing.

If Obama is elected, I would like to see him get a chance to do things his way.

I gave Bush the benefit of the doubt after 911. That was a big mistake on my part.

It is obvious that Bush failed.

MM -

Sounds good to me. Deep cuts in our nuclear weapons systems could still leave us with far more of them than anyone else.

Not wasting money on crackpot ideas is a good thought as well.
