We cannot build an enduring peace based on freedom by ourselves. We must be willing to listen to our democratic allies. Being a great power does not mean that we can do whatever we want whenever we want, nor should we assume that we have all the wisdom, knowledge, and resources necessary to succeed. When we believe international action — whether military, economic, or diplomatic — is necessary, we must work to persuade our friends and allies that we are right. And we must also be willing to be persuaded by them. To be a good leader, America must be a good ally.

Half the world would not exist if it was not for our brave troops and giving hearts of the American people. It would be nice if the feelings were mutual.
We don't need a leader who thinks we're not good enough and is willing to blame America first.
I'm voiting for Romney.
Why oh why does this remind me of the liberal mewling that went on when France was acting like a San Fransisco pansy before we went into Iraq?
What these “we must listen to the international community” morons fail to grasp is that, aside from the jihadists themselves and those on the take, literally, from sadam in the oil for food scam, the world was behind us.

OBAMA says that he would be another JFK. OBAMA can’t. His wife wouldn’t let him. Would he be called an Uncle Tom if he was elected===== like Judge Thomas or Secretary of State Rice?
JFK started two wars. The Bay of Pigs and Vietnam. Does OBAMA want to emulate JFK?
What has OBAMA done for his state? What has OBAMA done for the country?
As a junior senator he did what he was told by other older democrats. For the past two years, it seems longer, OBAMA has been running for the presidency.
OBAMA is not for a permanent tax cut, he is for amnesty, open border, natioal health care.
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE SOCIALISM?
The Ice Queen/Prince Igor, Obama, Huckebee and McCain are cut from the same cloth.
