Obama has stated on many occasions before, during and after his election he did not support the missile defense system. He went to Europe and said the same thing. Most Americans dont support it either. Why waist our money on a system to protect Europe from nukes? Is this missile to come from North Korea or Iran? Judging by their technical abilities I am sure it would fall short someplace in Eastern Europe. The USA did offer to Russia to do it jointly. I am glad we arnt. There is no reason for Russia to have access to that level of our technology.
