Obama's variation on Theodore Roosevelt Credo

Obama, Netanyahu meet on Iran's nuclear problem

...

"Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in, and to sustain the broad international coalition we have built. Now is the time to heed the timeless advice from Teddy Roosevelt -- speak softly; carry a big stick."

Allow me to translate that from rhetoric to English; It should have actually been:

"Speak Softly and Carry a Big Shtick".

or perhaps

"Speak Soflly and Send the Drones".
