Obama to call for nuclear-free world

President Barack Obama will call for the elimination of all nuclear weapons across the globe, in remarks on Sunday he hopes will lend credibility to his message in atomic disputes with Iran and North Korea.

Visiting Prague during an eight-day visit to Europe, Obama plans to deliver what his aides have billed as a major speech on weapons proliferation.

Obama, who is making his debut on the world stage, said in Strasbourg, France on Friday that he would lay out an agenda to secure the world's loose nuclear materials and halt the spread of illicit weapons.

He added that he wanted to offer an agenda "to seek the goal of a world without nuclear weapons."

"Even with the Cold War over, the spread of nuclear weapons or the theft of nuclear material could lead to the extermination of any city on the planet," Obama said.

I am more afraid of Obama than I am a terrorist.

He’s not the antichrist. This guy is a naif. He’s a tool being presented as a leader.

I expect the antichrist will have an archangel’s intellect since he will be possessed by Lucifer.

Lenin would have called him a useful idiot

In my considered opinion, it seems that there are several groups of "people" involved in situations like this, like a spectrum of sorts...

One one end, you have those who KNOW what they're doing because they have sold their souls to do the evil one's bidding...Next to them, you have those who have bought "the lies" -- hook, line, and sinker -- who are the "committed foot-soldiers" to advance the cause...

The 3rd group, a little farther along the spectrum, is actually the largest of all; partly deceived, partly ignorant, mostly unaware, that are relatively pliable in the hands of those with the power of Information...

And lastly, those who are wide-awake, and will not be deceived. They have taken the time & effort to inform themselves & are trying the best they can to inform others...In large part, they feel wearied & ignored, tiring of the struggle to stay afloat on a sea of deception.

In whatever group you see yourself, do me a favor & ask yourself if there is any of the other groups you'd like to be in. I'm hoping you choose Group #4. If you're in Group #4, take courage, you are not alone.

One can only imagine if the US had no nuclear weapons.

This man is insane.

Russia and China are “rational” as long as we have the force to make them rational. If we bargain it away and they cheat as they have done in the past, we are toast when they figure out that they can get rid of us for once and for all.

Germany attacked Russia by sending Lenin to Russia.
Who sent Obama to the USA?

No nukes?
Russia, Iran and China will of course sign a ‘no nuke’ agreement with WRITTEN assurances to Obama that they will comply....IN WRITING....

There...that should put all Democrats and other mind-numbed robots at ease. After all, the agreement was signed and IN WRITING.

And Communist States ALWAYS keep their promises.
(idiot test: You believe that? Then congrads, you ARE an idiot...or Party Line Dem voter).

Yes, this is an actual, literal quote. See this article at CNN: "Obama: GOP Doesn't Own the Faith Issue"

China is rational enough to want to keep trading with the USA. What market would it substitute — Russia?

"When the real McCoy shows up nobody will doubt it."

I beg to differ on that. The Bible says even some of the ELECT will be deceived... It's not like he's going to come out and say, "Guess What? I'm Satan!"

Nuke control is just like Gun Control...When nukes are outlawed, only outlaws will have nukes! You heard it here first, folks. (Didn’t you?) haha

I saw this happen in Superman IV : The Quest for Peace. I hope he doesn’t throw all the nuclear warheads into the sun.

Obama to call for nuclear-free world

It would not surprise me in the least if the Kenyan Clown simply pledged unilateral disarmament by the United States.

Perhaps he could style it as a gesture of his "good intentions."

I’m confused. Maybe I should say even some of those who BELIEVE they are the “elect” could still be deceived?

Sounds like another verse I’m going to have to look up again tonight. :) [Today has given me a list! LOL]

More like somewhere in Daniel 5.

Mene mene tkl u pharsin.

And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN. This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting; PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.[3]

PARSIN is additionally a pun on the word for Persians.

That very night King Belshazzar is slain, and Darius the Mede becomes King.

I fear he's not just talking about nuclear weaponry here. I've got a 40 oz Colt 45 that says he's talking about ending ALL nuclear activity.....including energy.

This is the kind of imbecilic liberalism that will make nuclear disasters MORE likely not less. Peacenik fools like Obambi imagine that a world with no USA as superpower is somehow safer. WHAT BULLSPIT!!!!!!!

The knowledge and technologies will now exist forever. They cannot be wished away. Naive leftists think we can sing “KUM-BA-YA” and all will be well. If the USA is without nuclear weapons it means that any s##Thole country like Iran or N. Korea knows they can get tremendous leverage over us once they have enough nukes of their own. The history of nuclear weapons development is that nearly EVERY new “nuclear power” arrived on the scene as a surprise to us. They had secretive programs that either we did not know about or we at least thought would be much further away from nukes than it turned out to be.

The Obamanation is a liberal moron.
