Okay, don't trust me, I don't care. Do your own research on it if you wish. But, perhaps you could answer a few questions for me.
1. How long has Richard Luger been securing vulnerable nuclear material and arms?
2. How many years has Obama been in office?
3. How long had he been in office before he began researching this issue and became an 'expert' in that field? Was it over night or did it take 2 or 3 days?
4. Of the last 18 months of his four year term, how much of it has Obama, exactly, spent in congress and how much time has he specifically dedicated to working diligently on this field of experience?
Do the math there, 2 + 2 still equals 4.
Obama has spent ZERO time on this topic, he has simply allocated his name to it as a way to make him look more responsible and worldly. And that's a fact, if you can look objectively at the complexity of the issue, the time it would take to become knowledgable on it. Subtract the 18 months he has spent campaigning for office - something that I think is unfortunate that candidates have to do these days - from the meager amount of years he has been in office, there's no time for him to be anything but a face on this topic.

Luger has been heading up this initiative since 1991, passed in '92, basically 17 years.
Obama comes in and spend a couple weekends in on the topic and he's an expert? He's cosponsoring bills? I don't think so.
