"It is the responsibility of our president to use America's great power to shape history" Mitt Romney
The result of which will be a dramatic weakening of America's relative strategic power and ultimately bankruptcy and economic carnage like Greece and Spain are now going through.
No one could argue that the US is relatively stronger now, strategically, financially or economically, than it was when GW Bush was inaugurated in January 2001.
