now this was elaborated in 1904 in the state of the union address given by theodore roosevelt. he defined a policy which held that the united states had the right to intervene in the americas to prevent the development of conditions that might cause european intervention. not only to prevent intervention itself, but the development of condition in the americas that might result in european intervention. this came to be called the roosevelt corollary to the monroe doctrine. roosevelt said he wanted the united states american neighbors to be stable, orderly and prosperous. if they were all the things, they had no problems from the united states. but if anyone of the american states that was close to the united states failed to keep order, failed to pay its debts, behave in a civilized way, roosevelt said the adherence to the monroe doctrine may force the united states in such flagrant cases to the exercise of an international police power. this was called popularly roosevelt's big stick diplomacy. that was the first legacy truman inherited. the second was pan americanism. it was

the next question is do you think theodore roosevelt would have been such a successful president without edith roosevelt? >> i think she was very influential. he loved her very, very much. i think it was a situation where -- but it was a traditional kind of thing. i mean it was not like she was there making policy or anything like that, but his affection for her and devotion to her i think certainly made him -- >> okay. but not -- here is another one. let me go here. this is a question about women first ladies who are married to introverts. the question brings up grace coolidge and pat nixon. what is the difference when the president is an introvert? >> wow. pat nixon, i mean she is a fascinating character. >> yeah, i agree. >> because she's just sort of a mask that you never get behind, and i get -- from the things i have read, i don't know as much about them, but from the things that i've read he was not a womanizer. you know -- >> well, b.b. rebozo, the inflatable dolls, anybody know what i'm talking about? if you were around during nixon time, it was close to scandalous but he would
