The President takes an oath to "protect and defend". The Constitution sets out the purpose of the Federal Government (which was established by the States), the primary purpose which is to "provide for the common defense".

Obama is dismantling our military and disarming us. Reducing our nuclear warheads to such low levels that we would no longer be able to take out what is deemed to be them moste strategic targets, if necessary.

This should alarm all Americans, and is another reason why Obama must be removed from office.

Currently, the U.S. has 1,800 warheads, each 10X more powerful than the one used on Hiroshima. Even if the number was brought down to 1,000, as your article assets, 1,000 nuclear explosions would make Earth uninhabitable.

How is Obama "dismantling our military and disarming us?" His military budgets have been the largest in history. Even with Panetta's cuts we have a military budget bigger than all other nations combined.

One can't argue for cutting government spending and ignore the military, the largest part of discretionary spending.

Over spending on "defense" destroyed far more societies than it has helped. The problem is defense spending is the only acceptable form of industrial planning and welfare we can accept. The fact that our Congress critters are heavily invested as well as indirectly bribed by this industry is a major factor.

Our Military Industrial complex is not designed to protect us from military attack but to protect our stock market from collapse and from politically disastrous unemployment. Our economy is as thoroughly addicted to military spending as a terminal alcoholic on booze.

By cutting wasteful and needless defense spending by transferring the spending to domestic infrastructure president Obama is making this country stronger by being more economically efficient.

How about telling the head of state of a foreign country and potential rival that he will dismantle our missile defense system after he is re-elected.

Whatever drugs/medications you're on, I think it's time to change.
