the united states of america must lead. we must lead because it is important that the most compassionate and the most generous and the freest company -- country on the face of the earth would be the most powerful. we do not have an option to retire to take a sabbatical from leadership in the international community and in the world. if we do, one of two things will happen. there will be chaos. without leadership, there will be chaos. that is dangerous. it is quite possible that if we do not lead, somebody else will. perhaps it will be someone who does not share our values of compassion, the rights of the individual, of liberty and freedom. if someone leaves and is not sure values, the balance of power that favors freedom so carefully constructed over the last year's, a balance of power that has favored freedom and brought millions out of the tyranny of communism, millions of the tyranny of authoritarianism, that balance of power will be in danger. i can assure you that if the balance of power that favors freedom is replaced

of anything goes. i say tonight, there's not a liberal america, a conservative america, there's the united states of americas not a black america and a white america and a latino america and asian america. there's the united states of america." well now seven years later president obama prepares to divide our nation to achieve re-election. this is not a leadership style. thinks a re-election strategy. telling those who are scared and struggling that the only way their lives can get better is to diminish the success of others, trying to cynically to convince those who are suffering that the american economic pie is no longer a growing one that can provide more prosperity for all who work hard, insisting that we must tax and take and demonize those who have already achieved the american dream. that may turn out to be good re-election strategy, mr. president, but it is a demoralizing message for america. [applause] what happened? what happened to state senator obama when he decided to become one of the dividers he spoke so eloquently of in 2004? there of course is a different choice. that choice is the way ron

they redefined the united states of america. i knew then that this tkpraeut nation would over -- that this great nation would overcome. events that unite us will always make us stronger. i was reminded of that on may 2 when navy seals found and brought swift justice to osama bin laden prompting spontaneous celebrations across montana and the rest of the country. we must never lose sight of our ability to find common ground and work together on major issues that affect us all. we have much more in common than not, and we should never forget that. it's what built this country. it's what made this the best nation on earth. and we need to summon that spirit again as we work to rebuild our economy. mr. president, over the past decade we've been reminded of some powerful troops that we can never afford to lose sight of. we can never take the security of this country for granted. there are and sadly always will be people out there bent on destroying what america stands for: taking innocent lives with them. they're always looking for the

>> my fight against terrorism, to me the biggest terrorist is obama in the united states of america. xt i was asked about a song that i did called words i never said which addresses terrorism. >> i really think the war on terror is a bunch of bull [bleep] just a poor excuse for you to use a bunch of bullets. >> the statement i made which was that the biggest terrorist obama and the united states of america and its foreign policy, that was what the whole, you know, context of everything was. and it's really just an expression of me trying to, i guess, understand critically, the society. >> bill: president obama is not a terrorist. he is trying to do what he believes is the right thing to do. the united states is not a bad nation. it's a noble nation. we are trying to defend ourselves against people who killed us on 9/11. and then you go out there and talk to a lot of younger people. this is what gets me that your constituency are not exactly political science ph.d.es, okay? they are impressionable kids. >> i don't think that matters. i don't think you need to have a political ph.d. to

strong point it's a new situation where my main shareholder is the united states of america well any dollar any euro that is invested in the fund goes buck. to the member principal and interest we're not in the business helps us of subsidies we're not in the business of giving grants the u.s. and europe are holding the most votes in the organization and veto power despite the fact that emerging economies have been the engine of global growth in recent years the organisation's policy making it's been under fire for being biased in favor of its top shareholders one of the functions of the i.m.f. is crisis warning and prevention but when three years ago the financial crisis in the us was sending devastating shock waves throughout the world the organization proved completely redundant in the case of united they should have taken a much stronger position warning about the build up financial act that i mean. that write it up again but hasn't completely dropped the ball and unless the i.m.f. is that able to monitor the rich. like united states as well as other countries it will only lose its

scott was the united states of america. thank you as -- and god bless the united states of america. ank you so much. >> no. next a look at the result of saturday's straw poll in florida and the 2012 republican campaign. at what is happening in politics down in florida. the florida straw pol was yesterday and have a guest on to tal about that and give us an analysis. kevin derby is with . guest: good morning. host: tell us about the herman cain situation. guest: he had a big wind down here, taking 37% of the boat. herman cain came into the poll with positive feelings but he worked the crowd and was able to give a solid debat performance. it affected the speeches here. rick perry did not do as well with speeches when he came here. he did not have -- he did not have the intimate conversations that herman cain had when he worked with the people here. host: how much of it is a hands- experience? did the candidates who's invested time their fare better? guest: absolutely, the best example is probably rick santorum. he came in fourth place but he probably invested more time working the crow

nation after today the united states of america is a holy has force and imposes her will just as you see that she's able to impose her will on many bigger more powerful governments and nations but this in the long run will not benefit the united states of america today the relationships between the various nations of the world are not the termin by the force of missiles or weapon systems are determined by the people of those nations today we can hold a referendum in turkey and determine their opinion the hardest opinion of the turkish people against germany of the united states and at the end of the day it will of the people will prevail in syria in fact mr bashar al assad mr already gone very good relationships and they were good friends. it's interesting mr president they say they are. usually the same because us president barack obama when he spoke to the international community his criticism of iran was pretty much the same as it was the year before and pretty much similar to the criticism. george w. bush made against iran which continues to be seen so if you're on the united sta

don't think there's any question if you're going toave an effective defense system for the united states of america, it has to adapt to the threats that are out there. you can't justsay here's a particular teat that's coming in the united states so we're going to invade and we're going to put 200,000 groups there and attack. you got to look at each threat, you got to look at each crises and determine what's the st effective way to be able to respond. as i said at the beginning, we're dealing with a myriad of threats. these aren't just coming in one fashion. they're coming in a number of directions. we are fighting some wars. we've got troops on the ground that are fighting wars in a very conventional way in terms of both iraq and afghanistan. but at the same time, we are deploying forces that are going after targets. the special forces operations have become much more effective at being able to target those who would plan to attack us. and that has become an effective operation asell. you mentioned the c.i.a.'s operations. when it cos to iran and north korea, how do we con confront te real peace in

the job is to be the president of the united states of america. erica has no capital requirements in its banking system. it has rigged trading agreements with the entire world. it has a tax code that is for sale through special interests in the congress. and i think the expectation is, whoever is the president, we would like for you to address the dysfunctional systems of america and money and politics. do you think i'm missing that? that the base frustration, people are aware that the military spends a bunch of money and is not giving us what we need. that health care spends a bunch of money and not giving us what
