Barack Obama, calling himself a "Citizen of the World," committed himself to reducing America's Nuclear Defenses in a speech delivered in Berlin, Germany, today -- a city ironically united because Ronald Reagan built up America's Nuclear Arsenal.
This is the moment when we must renew the goal of a world without nuclear weapons. The two superpowers that faced each other across the wall of this city came too close too often to destroying all we have built and all that we love. With that wall gone, we need not stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom. It is time to secure all loose nuclear materials; to stop the spread of nuclear weapons; and to reduce the arsenals from another era. This is the moment to begin the work of seeking the peace of a world without nuclear weapons.
This is an aspect of Obama's far-left liberal philosophy that has not been greatly explored as of yet. Obama has previously said he favors deep cuts in America's defenses, both nuclear and conventional . . (see video)
Barack Obama was running for "President of the World" today in Berlin, wanting to please the crowd. But he is running for "President of the United States." It was out of line for him to give a public speech outlining his plans that are not the policy of the U.S. Government he represents. Americans should ask themselves if this man, who so covets adulation from a crowd of Europeans, would truly act in the best interests of the United States. That's the only job of the U.S. President -- Not to be a citizen of "the world," but protect and advance the best interests of the United Sates.

Exactly.
If it would always be a grave mistake for the US to use nuclear weapons, regardless of the circumstances, Obama should come right out and advocate the complete and unilateral destruction of the US nuclear arsenal. Why keep it around if it can only lead to a grave mistake?
Why don’t we reduce our arsenal by giving our nuclear weapons away to other countries? That way they won’t need to violate International law by developing their own nuclear weapons programs.
-—’ we need not stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom.’
I agree! Those damn things are everywhere these days!
Obama is an enemy of the United States. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but this enemy is downright dangerous to our survival. He must have a safehouse in Kenya or somewhere where he can go.
This I promise: If Mr. Obama is elected(God forbid), the press will hate his guts in less than six months in office, and so will the people who voted for him and the people who applauded him in Berlin today.
Mr. Obama might speak pretty well(with a prompter), but he is a shell. An empty one at that.
The fascination with Mr. Obama will fade quickly if he makes it into The White House. He is poised to become a terrible chief executive, and the scourge of America.
Citizen of the World?.....
Get this guy out of here!....
He speaks like the Anti-Christ.
Oblama is a charmer and slick like Willy. Just remember though there is plenty of venom under that suave exterior.
The man makes good prepared speeches but a bumbling stumbler without one. If he gets into office expect a hard left marxist turn in policy just like the Clintoons did only ‘Bama got an angry chip deep within. Beware the O!
Whereas self respect has to be earned by the person himself. “Self Esteem” can be imparted to people by the noncompetitive schools , fawning teachers and nonjudgmental mothers...and Affirmative Action...BO is an extreme example of a man who thinks very highly of himself without any objective reason rooted in achievement......need I say the man had no father to box his ears and tell him that the world doesn't owe him a living...let alone the presidency !!
All while Obama’s minions were probably passing out absentee ballots (so long as American soldiers don’t get them).
> He speaks like the Anti-Christ.
Bingo !!!!!
> Citizen of the World
Could he sound any more commie if he wanted to?
Just in case you missed this little gem by Obama
He sure doesn't speak for me!
If he wants to get rid of the walls and have everyone join the world community, maybe he should be speaking at the UN; ‘cause last time I checked that was the mission of the corrupt debating society on the East River.
The UN should be kissing the ground under each and every American Serviceman, because without them to carry out the UN pronouncements of their endless hand wringing and voting to take out the Iraqi trash, none of these worthless bastards would have an expense account, as the UN collapsed into meaningless oblivion.
And for the media, I'm just pissed that I don't have stock in a kneepad manufacturer!
Under no circumstances will I ever be a “citizen of the world.”
I have always been, will always be, and will die a citizen of the United States of America.
The world citizen cadre can pound sand.
I hope Obama does not have any gaffs today. I actually think the gaffs draw attention away from how utterly devoid of substance this candidate is and how dangerously naive and stupid his positions are.
I think this is obamie’s jump-the-shark moment.
I’m worried he’s going to sink himself and we’ll end up with Hil-Rod to run against.
‘Bamie is unelectable.
As has been established, he is not a US Citizen.
I’m sure the eschatological numerologists of the world have determined that by using a secret formula, his name adds up to 666.... just like Hitler, the Pope (Which one? ANY one), Bush, Nietzsche, etc, etc, etc.
I disagree. The vast majority of Americans will rue the day he was elected. But, the true believers and the grovelling media will remain his adoring subjects forevermore.
The MSM will do whatever is in their power to prop up his joke of a presidency for four years.
Yes he does indeed. Starting to act like one as well.
What possible reason would this jacka$$ be posturing in front of the wall if only to desecrate it for the sake of a photo-op?

I'm not one to normally post scripture but I look at this image think of these two passages.
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
This also from McCain dot com, and posted on our forum.
Neither of these men impress me when it comes to our nuclear arsenal.
One of the few things I disagreed with Ronald Reagan on, was the idea we could ever completely abandon our nuclear arsenal. It’s something we could all admit to dreaming of, but in practical terms, I think it would be extremely foolish to think of actually trying to do it.
Nuclear weapons are not used today, because the nations that have them are assured that they cannot use them or they will be struck by a massive nuclear strike in retaliation.
To cut back our nuclear deterrence more, does nothing more than entice other nations to think they might be able to endure a nuclear war with us and win. Some nations have gone on the record with the idea they could lose massive numbers of citizens and still win a nuclear war.
In that climate, do we send out the message that we want to cut our arsenal to the bare amount we can? And whose idea of safe numbers, are we to accept? Should it be some closet Wesley Clark type we don’t even know until he leaves the military?
Our nuclear arsenal is just fine as it is.

maybe he should be speaking at the UN;
He belongs in the UN with all the rest of the America hating mulsims.
Obama is the anti Christ. could be you know......
bang on!
OSAMA the ASSCLOWN
My thoughts exactly. He is starting to fit the profile more and more as this campaign progresses.
It occurred to me that he’s playing President now because, deep in his heart, he doesn’t feel he’ll have the chance a few months from now.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Good times ahead if he is elected if you do not like what makes America great.
If OHB gets in, G-D forbid, you won't get a chance to vote him out in 4 yrs, for the Constitution of the US will have been suspended in lieu of "emergency marshal law", ala OHB.
This idiot would completely disarm this country. One World Order sound familiar????
The “One World Order” does ring a bell.
Just curious but, is he wearing one of his own ‘Obamayahks’ (or whatever he calls them)?<p<Heck, should he even be wearing one at all? - Is he Jewish, Christian, Muslim, what?
That has occurred to me too - he’s been wanting to be the US President since what - since he was two years old?
Yep.
Its clear Obama does not understand we live in a dangerous world and its precisely our nuclear arsenal that keeps those threats we fear most at bay.
Oh yest he does.
It's clear that you don't understand that this is exactly what his masters desire, either that or you simply can't accept it.
oops I posted the image directly - plz remove that post at your convenience — thank you

Obama is an empty shell—motivated by Utopian idealism just as was Lenin and other reformers. The pain he will inflict on others will rival that of Lenin—in this land and the planet.
He will become a hated symbol of all that is wrong with our land starting with arrogance and elitism. He’s got all that’s wrong with the US and nothing that his right. He is race hate mixed with ambition—never a good mix. Maybe he will wise up or grow if he gets the job but, I fear for the worst. All americans show not let their hate of Bush and the war blind them to handing over the leadership to this weak man.

This is a Sabbatical year

Obama is, at the very least, a dangerous anti-American lunatic.
At the very most he is ........

No President was this ignorant. Is it necessary to lower the bar this low to find somebody willing to sit in the Oval Office for four years or ten?
Obama just wants to rule 10 years over the 57 states of America where 10,000 people died in the Kansas tornado last year.
