Mitt Romney needs headlines. It's been so long! And what's more eye-catching than calling a nuclear reduction treaty that the Obama administration negotiated with Russia his "worst foreign policy mistake yet"? Wow! What's the problem, Mitt Romney?
President Obama and Russian President Medvedev just signed a landmark new arms control treaty. Now, it's up to the United States Senate—the world's greatest deliberative body—to ratify it. All it takes is 67 votes.
This should go over well with the right. Obama today will announce a new nuclear strategy, which says the US cannot obliterate another country with doomsday weapons unless they have them, too, and no new nukes will be developed. [NYT]
