as has been the case from start to finish here
Celebrating old news because of the unpalatability of the new
how's that "BHO would never ever consider cutting SS you MORANS" thing working out?
in this case, it looks to me like you're sucking hind tit, given he's done little to nothing to bring peace to the world, but a great deal to ensure the continuation of the phony WOT, and all the human misery and hardship that comes with it. Nuclear arms reduction has to do with the means whereby we settle conflicts, not avoiding them or making them worse as he is with his WOT policies. That's the "opposite" of peace as most know, but I can understand why you struggle with that concept.

"Celebrating old news because of the unpalatability of the new"
This is new too, from the neocons
Obama's 'nuclear zero' rhetoric is dangerous
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/obamas-nuclear-zero-rhetoric-is-dangerous--and-unrealistic/2013/03/29/917f2036-987b-11e2-b68f-dc5c4b47e519_story.html
Still, what's wrong with celebrating an achievement?
and it appears to me as if your posts are becoming increasingly populated with your critics, so I'd guess most of them are asking themselves the exact opposite, and have likely had the same experience I am here with you.
The only point you seem to have is really more of a goal -- to get to 100K posts, like quantity is a substitute for the quality they generally lack, because they largely consists of nothing but "c&p's", or dodging efforts like these that no doubt do the most padding of it.

Yes, in thirdwayspeak, "sacrifice" means it's the poor/middle class/elderly/sick who must suffer.

Unfortunately I think he'll go down as another Bill Clinton - brilliant man, mediocre president.
