The Critical Importance of Obama's Nonproliferation Proposals

Yesterday, a post by the Atlantic's Marc Armbinder explained that Obama's budget proposal includes a dramatic increase in funding for nuclear nonproliferation. The president deserves much more credit for this than he's getting. I know this sounds all 1980s, but the destructive power of nuclear weapons is pretty much too horribly powerful to comprehend (modern bombs make Fat Man and Little Boy look like fire crackers). Nothing makes the world safer than securing nukes and hopefully eliminating them entirely. Another reason that our 2008 votes were so important.

Morning Roundup--Gobble Gobble

This makes me kind of sad but no doubt the MSM is blowing this way out of proportion.

Tim Russert to finally (but not really) be replaced. My pick is David Gregory though it would be cool to have a woman. But no one wants to look at Andrea Mitchell's bizarro face every week and I'm still pissed at Gwen for her "moderating" at the Veep debate.

Not sure how I feel about this, bloggers seem to be a bit concerned.

EJ Dionne is feeling good about Obama's economic team, so I am too.
"Washington often divides the Democratic policy world between progressives and pragmatists. With Obama, as yesterday's news conference showed, it will have to become accustomed to a president who is both. "

Obama slams CEOs (about damn time we got some leadership from the leadership!) and talks about keepin it real at the WH.

Safe travels to everyone heading out of town for Turkey Day.
