What difference a century makes.....

At the beginning of the 20th Century, soon to be President, Theodore Roosevelt picked up on an expression that he heard while traveling through Africa....  "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

Meaning of course, that when dealing with other countries, we should talk softly with them, but let it be known that we have the ability to be as forceful as we need to be.

Now, here in the beginning of the 21st Century, we have a half Kenyan President who not only obviously doesn't understand the wisdom of Roosevelt's adage --  he flies in it's face!  Loudly daring the Syrian king to cross 'that red line' at his own peril..... while totally ignorant of the fact that this Congress and this Country and these Americans have neither interest, nor inclination to get involved in another boots on the ground war in the Middle East.

Shame on him (again)!

Valerie! George! Emmanuel!  What do I do now????
