Obama met Russian president Medvedev in Prague to sign a nuclear disarmament agreement that had been carefully, and rather quietly, worked out. It is the most significant pact in a generation between the two countries that together own 90% of the world's nuclear arms.
The agreement must now be ratified by the Russian Parliament and the U.S. Senate.
Anyone taking bets on whether the Republicans can let Obama win on this one or will they continue their "just say no" talking machines? After trying to paint him as incompetent in protecting the nation, will they feel obligated to find fault with this treaty and prevent these important steps toward nuclear disarmament?
It probably depends on which stand they think will play better at the polls in November.
