WaPo via Heritage : "Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S.

Obama’s False START

Heritage "Why should the U.S. Senate ratify a treaty that Russia maintains it can exit at any time?" And here: Obama, Medvedev sign treaty to reduce nuclear weapons "Let's remember where U.S.-Russian relations were when we took office," one top adviser said.

Do you need a side-by-side comparison? Well here's a nifty little chart."... Hat tip to Bill Foster, Portage, IN.
