RE: The United States Declining Position in the World

The decline of the United States is in my opinion because of only two reasons, poor leadership and a poor economy. I am not blaming President Obama nor President Bush, but the combination of them both in the order that they did has resulted in a natiional debt in the trillions. We are spending moneyon a war that has gone on for almost 10 years, longer than even World War Two. It would be safe to say that a progress in the middle east has come to a hault because of the politicians in Washington that are staling the military from doing what they are meant to do because they have to much to personally gain. Our Governement has become more focused on what they can do for themselves rather than what they can do for the American people.
Our economy also is poor because of the outsourcing our comapanies are doing with countries like China, Vietnam and Bangladesh. We are helping the economies of these forign companies, however, in the process we have boosted China into a more powerful position then the U.S.
Its time that we have someone step up and get the people in the U.S. on the same team in order to pull oursevelves out of our economic and power crisis.
