No More Nukes!?!?

Not quite, but there certainly won't be any new ones made by the U.S. anytime soon. This will help end the argument that America is hypocritical on wanting countries to end their nuclear programs when we have our own. Apparently this move towards nonproliferation is a way to convince other countries to stay in line with the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT.
This treaty involves 187 parties with 5 being nuclear weapon states (China, Russia, U.S., United Kingdom, and France). The NPT was a move to try and move past the Cold War and build confidence that nuclear weapons would not be used and that the countries who have nuclear capabilities would not sell weapons to spread the technology. Although the NPT was signed almost 42 years ago, it still is having a rippling effect in policy decisions that are occuring in the White House now. Only 4 countries have not signed on to the treaty. Name them (highlight for the answer)===>Cuba, Israel, Pakistan, and India.

The healthcare reform that is being put into place by President Obama and the rest of Washington is a stark difference to what past presidents such as Herbert Hoover believed in when helping out the citizens. Check out the plan here and let me know how you think this will affect the future.

Presidential First Pitch

President Barack Obama helped to continue a 100 year tradition by throwing out the first pitch in Washington D.C. as the Nationals faced the Phillies. Although the pitch was subpar, he helped to continue something that was started by President William Howard Taft. Time for a trivia question. Which President threw out the most Opening Day pitches? Highlight below for the answer. Franklin Roosevelt threw out a record 8 Opening Day Pitches.
