Today our President called for the end of nuclear weapons saying they are "the most dangerous legacy of the cold war."
Yes that was our president who made that call. Amazing! Simply Amazing!
Obama made the remarks in a speech he gave today in Prague. The speech comes just a day after North Korea test launched a missile of thier own. The BBC believes that there were at least 20,000 people who showed up to hear him speak. We haven't seen a president greeted like that in a foreign country since the days of Kennedy!
International politics and finance is a messy, dirty affair and who knows what will come of this. But the fact that Obama is delivering this type of message to the rest of the world fills this writer with literal hope for human kind. We need leaders like this to shepherd us into an area of understanding and cooperation while still retaining national sovereignty for the United States.
My hopes, prayers, and thoughts are with Barack and his family.
