Obama pushes arms treaty approval


Washington (CNN) -- President Obama urged the lame duck Senate to quickly ratify the new arms control treaty with Russia, arguing that United States cannot "afford to gamble" on the need to effectively monitor that country's nuclear stockpile.

"The stakes for American national security are clear, and they are high," he said. "This is not a matter that can be delayed."

Obama called the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) a "cornerstone" of relations between Russia and the United States and "completely in line" with a long tradition of bipartisan cooperation on arms control.

The president insisted he's confident his administration will round up the 67 Senate votes needed for ratification of the treaty.

Obama made his remarks during a White House meeting about the treaty with Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, and Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar, the top Republican on the committee.

1. McConnell said after the election that was the GOP's main objective

To make Obama a one term President.

That is all they will do for the next two years is focus on stopping him. The M$M will surely help.
