OUR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT:
How Obama talks an anti-nuke talk, walks a pro-nuke walk (Bonnie Kristian, 5/27/16, The Week)
[I]n practice, the president has reduced the American nuclear stockpile less than any other post-Cold War president. In fact, a new report from the Federation of American Scientists indicates that both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush shrank the stockpile significantly more than Obama and Bill Clinton -- yet even Clinton destroyed nearly twice as many warheads as Obama has so far.Obama has also quietly planned a $1 trillion, 30-year update of our nuclear arsenal, a pricey program critics suggest is ill-suited to modern national security issues.
