I purposly posted this here, because current events is so full of blowhards that write 35 paragraph responses instead of summarizing their thoughts!

To lift the specter of mass destruction, we must come together to pursue the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. Over the last two years, we have begun to walk down that path. Since our Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, nearly 50 nations have taken steps to secure nuclear materials from terrorists and smugglers. Next March, a Summit in Seoul will advance our efforts to lock down all
of them. |

Speaking of summarizing, I think I can condense his speech down to:
"Even though I advocated for a Palestinian state a year ago, I've decided that nuclear weapons should be the thing to talk about now. So remember, when I veto the international recognition of a Palestinian state, it's not a vote against freedom... it's a vote against nuclear weapons."
If that guy had followed through with half of the promises he made, I'd be proud to have voted for him. |
