Wow! Some of the fright-wingers really need to get some thinking caps.
(How about some caps labeled Make America Think Again!)
Claiming that the US under Obama sent NK nuclear materials is one of the dumbest comments ever seen here. Sanctions against NK since it restarted its weapons program have been stiff and certainly do not involve sending nuclear materials to NK.
NK mines its own Uranium, and processes it.
In 1994, the US agreed to send a couple of reactors to NK in exchange for NK shutting down and dismantling existing reactors that were much more efficient at producing plutonium. The US got processed nuclear material from NK at that time, not the other way round.

And interestingly, one of the reasons that China goes easy on NK is that China imports NK ironwhich apparently is of superior quality to Chinese iron.
