WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE WORLD WANT FROM THE USA?

In his UN speech, Obama wisely tells the world not to expect us to do it all. The USA has fostered that view because the last administration went into IRAQ telling the world if you aren't with us, you are against us...so we'll do it all ourselves.

In an article by the Associated Press, he lets the world know we no longer have intentions of 'going it alone'. "Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world's problems alone," said Obama in put-up-or-shut-up comments before a packed U.N. General Assembly hall. "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."

It is about time that we, as Americans, stop being grandiose and carefully examine our priorities and limitations.

"So Obama's message at its core was not new.
But it was delivered in an unmistakably new, more humble tone."

I hope that Legislature gets caught up to the times...that while their salary, perks, and benefits have not changed, they think they can go on spending money...business as usual (as in the past Administration). It hasn't occurred to them, yet, that Americans might like to have some of their own money rather than sharing so much of it with them!
