President Barack Obama came into office over two years ago with a negative perception of missile defense and intent on reducing missile defense. Halfway through his term and in the midst of the ratification process the he has made the strongest statements by any U.S. President ever in support of missile defense while maintaining close to a $10 billion a year budget for missile defense.Of course, this guy is big on missile defense, and doesn't care much about missile offense. I'd rather have both.
