Sometimes a politician says something so ridiculous that you think its something out of a satire. But I assure you that everything below actually did come out of the mouth of the President of the United States.

Obama's foreign doctrine emerged across his four-day trip to Latin America, his first extended venture to a region of the world where resentment of U.S. power still lingers. He got a smile, handshakes and even a gift from incendiary leftist leader Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and embraced overtures of new relations from isolated Cuban President Raul Castro.

He makes Chamberlain look like a war-monger.
“Democracy is not going to cure the world and make our enemies go away.”
The guys who set up the USA took considerable pains to assure that we would never be a democracy. Why would we wish other countries to be democracies, when we evaluated the issue and rejected it long ago?
What about Columbia? Is he going to open our friend and ally to free trade between our countries?
Good point, we should of stayed that way. Enemies have infiltrated and our govt is out of control.
