Can you see Pres. Obama, yellow legal pad in hand, penning our next treaty with Russia whilst sitting in the Oval Office. On occassion he’ll glance longingly out the window at a bright sunny day knowing that while many play he must work, work work. He’s keeping us all safe. Peace be upon him.

Beware a presidential sell-out of American missile defense. As soon as he can do it while we look the other way.
