The New York Times and Missile Defence

The New York Times: Interesting News Anaylsis by the Liberal NYT, one gets the impression that the US paper of record is not completely on board with the Obama plan to sell out Poland and the Czech Republic, the NYT writes the following, " Rather than focusing first on protecting the continental United States, it shifts the immediate effort to defending Europe and the Middle East. " Also the Liberal NYT has set President Obama challenge, as the article states the original point of Ronald Reagan's SDI project or Star Wars was to protect the USA, Obama has moved the goal posts, even left the USA a target, as the NYT writes Obama could could come under critical review for such a policy move, I thought the main duty of the the President of the United States was to protect the USA. The challenge by the Liberal New York Times to President Obama is can he be another Reagan, can he make his missile defence system work, not in practice but in the political sphere, can he be another Reagan.
