"It's not sufficient for the United States, or France or other members of the nuclear club simply to say all of you have to stop but we're not gonna do anything to change ourselves."
President Barack Obama
Press Conference with President Sarkozy in France
June 6, 2009
In Obama's mind, our holding nuclear weapons is no different than some rogue nation attempting to hold nuclear weapons to terrorize the world. He think that in order to establish peace and 'mutual respect' - we need to lead the way in giving up our weapons first. He probably doesn't realize that the rogue nations always have an arsenal in the back hidden away that they will use on us once they see that we no longer have any protection.
