Once again North Korea has agreed to postpone its nuclear program in return for millions of dollars of US taxpayer funded food.
Just as past agreements, this one will do nothing except give the sitting administration something to give themselves credit for prior to the election.
There is not a doubt in anyone’s mind that once the N. Koreans get what they want, they will once again renege on their promises as they have done repeatedly in the past.
It will cost the American people a pretty penny to give a self serving politician a boost in the polls.

Paying the enemy to not be our enemy?

This is a stupid U.S. policy. And we wonder why we have no money?

I have lots of money. I'm not sure what you're talking about.

They are stopping the nuclear program at least for the time being. It's better than the alternative. There's a new leader in their country, so the administration, whether this one or the next, will want to try to build bridges.

This will drive the racists and extremists crazy. Excellent! Not only is a black man the President, but he's negotiating with slanty-eyed Asians! LOL!!! Crying towels are at the back of the room. Good job President Obama. These are the same nutcases who complain the President isn't doing enough to negotiate with Iran.

I can agree with this...and hope it happens. This is North Korea's make or break moment in history. Either another 50 years of scourge, or a new horizon of hope. I hope they choose the latter.

Well, they are pretty much at the tipping point right now, how can you get the masses to work if you cant feed them, and all that.
