That is, unfortunately, the entire truth of the matter. 2010 are the elections that matter; 2012 will either be icing on the cake, or nothing more than a macabre formality over who gets to preside at the funeral of the US of A.

"The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times,'" he said in prepared remarks. "Countering violent extremism and insurgency; stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials; combating a changing climate and sustaining global growth; helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick; preventing conflict and healing its wounds."
"Yes, we are clear-eyed about the shortfalls of our international system. But America has not succeeded by stepping outside the currents of international cooperation," he said. "We have succeeded by steering those currents in the direction of liberty and justice -- so nations thrive by meeting their responsibilities, and face consequences when they don't."
But he said civilians must answer the call of service as well, by securing America's economic future, educating its children and confronting the challenges of poverty and climate change. He said the country must always pursue what he called the "universal rights" rooted in the Constitution.

The "New International Order" is intended to be a revision of the international economic system in favor of Third World countries.
It is a pre-determined set of proposals.
It replaces the Bretton Woods system, which had benefited the leading states that had created it – especially the United States.
The "New International Order" was formulated during the 1970s by Third World countries through the UN's Conference on Trade and Development.
It was bent on promoting Third World interests by improving their terms of trade, by increasing development $$assistance, securing developed-country tariff reductions...........and other means.
Good comments Phil.
No pun intended, snicker...
It is remarkable in every aspect. It is even more remarkable to hear the tape of his voice making the speech. When Gregory Peck “acted” this speech, it was no where near the same in its sincerity and delivery. (Additionally, in real life, Peck was a weeny liberal who would never have had the right stuff to aspire to go to West Point, much less make it through and have a distinguished and patriotic career.)
Imagine being a young cadet in that room and hearing this speech live in 1962. They had to know they were witnessing history. This had to have had such a strong effect on them throughout their lives and careers. The cadets who had to endure Obama’s “speech” will not remember so much what he had to say as they will remember how they felt when they heard him spew his BS. They have his number and they know a traitor when they see one (same with Clinton.)
Congratulations on having two wonderful sons who went to West Point. I know first-hand the pride and concerns you had as a parent while they attended. We need more patriotic families like yours! Again, thanks for posting this great speech!
