Oh Geez, this doesn't look good, Not much News coverage of exactly what Obama has been speaking...er, reading about lately in Mexico, but when I heard " Inter-Americas Democratic Charter " I had to see more....here's his latest speech.....
As we approach the Summit of the Americas, our hemisphere is faced with a clear choice. We can overcome our shared challenges with a sense of common purpose, or we can stay mired in the old debates of the past. For the sake of all our people, we must choose the future.
Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors. We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas. My Administration is committed to the promise of a new day. We will renew and sustain a broader partnership between the United States and the hemisphere on behalf of our common prosperity and our common security.
zoinks...that's just the first two paragraphs, the rest is here.....
