Miniver Cheevy: The speech it's not too late for Obama to make

I loved this ungiven speech posted over at Miniver Cheevy. Hope you will too. Here's an excerpt:

Miniver Cheevy: The speech it's not too late for Obama to make: "It is far better for a people to claim democracy for themselves than to try to build it in the wake of another nation's intervention. We should know that, having created our own nation in rebellion against the greatest colonial power of its time.

Better for a people to claim democracy for themselves, and best for them to do so without raising a gun at all. There are those who will say that to stand up against an oppressor without shedding their blood is too idealistic. Despots' grip on power is too great, they say. Only military force can break their grip."

I agree we fought for our freedom here in the United States and I don't believe we should be involved in the political affairs of other countries.... THAT SAID WALL STREET RUNS OUR COUNTRY AND THEY WANT PROFITS FROM YOUR OIL.... and we the people 99% have nothing to say about it. Don't know what it will take to move the american people to take our country back,,
