I began to search the Auraria database again and found two sources that were dissatisfied with the U.S.'s foreign policy.  They cited things issues like immigration, arms control, democratization, and global warming as issues that American citizens aren't satisfied with the U.S.'s current policies.  What I found interesting about both was they seemed to blame the president for their discontent.  This was slightly contrary to my previous research where I found that the secretary of State was in charge of our nation's foreign policy.  This got me wondering if the our foreign policy changed drastically with the election of Obama and whether it would change if there is a change of presidency in the upcoming election.  How much of our foreign policy is based off our president's views?  As a democratic country are we satisfied to elect an official every 4 years or should we have say in day to day issues that arise?
