Obama won't leave DC until nuke deal is done
|
 White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says President Barack Obama is prepared to delay his holiday trip to ensure Senate ratification of a US-Russia nuclear treaty.
Gibbs told reporters Friday that he believes Obama, who's set to vacation in Hawaii for the holidays, will stay in Washington until the New START pact is done.
Some key Republican senators continue to express skepticism about whether there's enough time this year for adequate consideration of the deal. But Maine Republican Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins both expressed support Friday.
Said Gibbs: "Congress won't leave before START is done. START will get done. And START will get done with a strong, bipartisan vote."
| It doesn't seem to be a very good treaty, for the U.S. at least. Is it meant to be a payoff to Russia to stop building nuclear power stuff for Iran? |
| That's what the cancellation of the missile defense system in Poland was supposed to buy, remember ... |
