Obama Mulls 80 Percent Disarmament

I also understand that no plan has yet been submitted to President Obama. He will mull the plan that is presented to him when it is.

Rush, once again, doesn't know what he's talking about. We peaked in 1967 with 31,255 warheads. You'd think he could at least use google.

Never let facts spoil a good right-wing rant...

He was ranting the other day how Democrats were "afraid to breed" and "afraid of children"... This from a man who has been married 4 times--with no children....Who has been busted for transporting illegal Oxycontin and Viagra through customs... rofllol rofllol

Illegal Viagra? I had no idea it was even considered legal or illegal. Oxycontin, I can understand that - after being on Percocet for a couple of months, it was a little bit tough to stop. "Afraid to breed"? Must have been abortion or contraceptives that he was ranting about.

Yeah, he was on a rant about the contraception silliness... And yes, bringing large quantities of Viagra through customs without a prescription is illegal.

Of course, he got off... (so to speak... ) You get as much justice as you can afford...

Interesting graph on numbers of nuclear warheads from Wikipedia. Wish it were more recent, though...

Uh oh.....

Look - between Whitney Houston's untimely death, Hillary's retirement, and Michelle's vacation in Aspen, I've had about enough of it.

What the world needs now, is love sweet love.

How bout this - I'll say a little prayer for you, that's what friends are for.

Let's discuss this over java next month.

Goodness gracious, Putin is afraid of Obama?.?.? rofllol

There are some asking whether nuclear weapons are really needed anymore, in a world where the biggest threat to our security is from terrorism.

Barry Obama - president of peace.

He'll be viewed as the one person serious about peace - even though the arsenal was reduced well over half (85 percent, in fact) through the work of treaties signed by the Bushes.

So, if it's good, Bush gets the credit, if it's bad, Obama owns it.

Actually if you read obama's early speeches, he has always wanted to decrease nuclear weapons. And with the current debt load, now is a good time to accomplish this. Ron Paul likes it.
