Hats Off
Hats off to President Obama for his speech today on nuclear non-proliferation, and aiming for a nuke-free world. And, especially, for emphasizing that a world without nuclear weapons isn't going to happen anytime soon. Isn't it refreshing to have someone in the White House who doesn't like to lie.
Too bad North Korea leader Kim Jong had other plans for the weekend than to listen to Mr. Obama's speech, but this latest rocket test surely didn't come as a surprise to anyone. While a former president, George W. Bush, was busy chasing Saddam Hussein, and introducing Al Qaeda to Iraq, Kim Jong had just enough time to explore those weapons of mass destruction we never did find in Baghdad.

Yes Jayne, I agree, isn't it
Yes Jayne, I agree, isn't it great to see Obama making so many strides in such a short time. Long may he continue to change the world. M
Amen
I'm not exaggerating when I say I either wake up in the morning or hear President Obama speaking at some point during the day and feel a buzz of amazement over the difference between what we had for eight years and what we've had for fewer than 100 days. It's magnificent. I'm optimistic that better days are ahead. Chris
Despite...
the growing ranks of nay sayers, I agree with you 100% Chris and Mary.
We must not be naive about this. The forces that brought down Martin Luther King, Jack Kennedy, RFK, and other progressives are still walking among us, but as Obama suggests, light inevitably prevails over darkness, and vision over blindness.
His task is a heavy one, and he will have trouble keeping his hands clean, as would anyone who could be elected president, so we must support Obama, not with blind fealty, but with the implicit understanding that, even when we are critical, we are respectful and grateful for his service.
jayne, find it hard to
jayne, find it hard to believe there are nay-sayers. reporting from Europe he is the number one guy! M
there are naysayers . . .
. . . even if they're the usual suspects. I read that Newt Gingrich called Obama's vision of the end of nuclear weapons a "fantasy foreign policy." Dream on, President Obama!!
Newt
Newt shouldn't talk about fantasy policies. We're still reeling from his "Contract for America."
