WASHINGTON — The United States is currently the world biggest weapons supplier — holding 30 per cent of the market — but the Obama administration has begun modifying export control regulations in hopes of enlarging the U.S. market share, according to U.S. officials.

President Barack Obama already has taken the first steps by tucking new language into the Iran sanctions bill signed in early July. His aides are now compiling the "munitions list," which regulates the sale of military items.

The administration's stated reason for the changes is to simplify the sale of weapons to U.S. allies, but potential spinoffs include generating business for the U.S. defense industry, creating jobs and contributing to Obama's drive to double U.S. exports by 2015.

Ha ha ha.  Morons.  I think I am going to try to fax this story to those idiots who gave him this award.  

Useful idiots.

Actually, I have no problem with this at all 240. 

He needs to do this economy wide, not just with armaments.  I wonder how Rev. Wright, Bill Ayeres, and the rest of the gang feel reading this story.

Uh...you do realize that there is a difference between pointing out the irony of a Nobel laureate increasing the sale of arms versus "condemning" him for it?

I realize it proves the point that repubs are going to bitch and moan - NO MATTER WHAT.

Obama is doing something that repubs COMPLETELY support here.  And the threat title isn't "Obama finally does something right".  Rather, it's designed to criticize his Nobel prize.

Who is bitching about it?  I support it, but the hypocrisy and irony of all of this is beyond laughable.

So in light of all the serious issues of the day - including slow GDP growth numbers just released - you want to have a big talk about the "hypocrisy and irony", and gloat over what people at huffpost think?

This is why repub 2010 fundraising efforts are lousy, and why candidates like Crist and Reid are making gains in polls.  Repubs want to get pissy about little things, and gloat over disagreements between dems - instead of talking about issues that matter.

That's funny considering the endless palin baby threads you posted in 2008 while the economy was melting down. 

What gives? 

As for the other issues, I am not surprised, but I know you are.  you bought into the hype of Obama, hoax and change, stim bill, etc etc. 

Face it, your dems party has done absolutely nothing to better the situation since 2006.

LOL you know if you switched obama with palin this would be a factual statement about you?   just thought id point that out...

Yeah, cause all the 9/11 shit you put out on the board has anything to do with fundraising or the next election.  I guess by your reasoning Obama can personally thank you for handing him the next election by keeping everybody blind from the "real" issues.

Honestly 240, are you really not capable of juggling more than one thing at a time?
