“A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. The only value in our two nations possessing nuclear weapons is to make sure they will never be used. But then would it not be better to do away with them entirely?” - Ronald Reagan
“Ronnie had many hopes for the future, and none were more important to America and to mankind than the effort to create a world free of nuclear weapons.” - Nancy Reagan
"The most fundamental paradox is that, if we're never to use force, we must be prepared to use it and to use it successfully. We Americans don't want war, and we don't start fights. We don't maintain a strong military force to conquer or coerce others. The purpose of our military is simple and straightforward: we want to prevent war by deterring others from the aggression that causes war. If our efforts are successful, we will have peace and never be forced into battle. There will never be a need to fire a single shot. That's the paradox of deterrence." - Ronald Reagan
Believe it or not, I agree with President Reagan. A nuclear war can't be won. But it's foolish to think that by getting rid of our the Mullahs of Iran or Kim Jong-Il, or others who are trying to get their hands on these types of weapons, will suddenly wake up and have a change of heart. And President Reagan understood that. "We will never stop searching for a genuine peace, but we can assure none of these things America stands for through the so-called nuclear freeze solution proposed by some. The truth is that a freeze now would be a very dangerous fraud, for that is merely the illusion of peace. The reality is that we must find peace through strength." - Ronald Reagan

Since that doesn’t describe President Obama’s position on nuclear weapons, I’m not sure what your point is. He is merely continuing what President Reagan started. Why the double standard?
Not sure what double standard you're talking about. I wish we could get rid of every single nuclear weapon we have.
It’s a double standard because you are criticizing President Obama for his position on nuclear disarmament – a position which is simply a continuation of what President Reagan started.
Please explain how signing a New Start pact with Russia (which would still allow the existence of 800 land, air and sea-based launchers of nuclear warheads) and gaining the support of Russia to impose new sanctions on Iran has anything to do with your mischaracterization of the President that he thinks Korea and Iran “will suddenly wake up and have a change of heart.”
If it doesn’t than what else lead you to this conclusions?
