Sweep your own back step first.

You know with all the things that have happened in the middle east over the past week, i think that the United States needs to reaffairm the Monroe Doctrine. For those of you who don’t know what that is here it is:

The Monroe Doctrine is a policy of the United States introduced on December 2, 1823. It stated that further efforts by European countries to colonize land or interfere with states in the Americas would be viewed as acts of aggression requiring U.S. intervention.^[1] The Monroe Doctrine asserted that the Western Hemisphere was not to be further colonized by European countries but that the United States would neither interfere with existing European colonies nor meddle in the internal concerns of European countries. The Doctrine was issued at a time when many Latin American countries were on the verge of becoming independent from the Spanish Empire and the United States, reflecting concerns raised by Great Britain, hoping to avoid having any European power take over Spain's colonies.^[2]

The US President, James Monroe, first stated the doctrine during his seventh annual State of the Union Address to Congress. It became a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States and one of its longest-standing tenets, and would be invoked by many U.S. statesmen and several U.S. presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and others.

America is not in the business of being the world police force, especially with our current president. President Obama has no standing with the Middle East. After he became President the first thing he did was take a trip to the middle east and kissed their tails and said that they were the best thing since a pocket on a shirt. Now i don't agree with nor condone the world viewing us a police force, but they do. AS such they look to our leader for advice and guidance. Obama has non for them, they don't like him because he does not give any of that non at all. Until we can get a president that will be respected that is just so much more reason to stay out of the worlds affairs.

My dad always told me to Sweep my own back step before i go try to sweep and getting on to others for not sweeping there back step. I in all honesty think that our president is a person who does not care he is getting what he wants. So i beg of you Nov. 4th 2012make your decision know and let the right one be made.
