Obama's History

It turns out I was wrong about the history of our nation. I've come to this conclusion by listening to our president. Mr. Obama says that the reason he's not doing anything about Iran or any of the other conflicts around the world is that he is trying to promote the American ideology of the Democratic Process. This is where I seem to be mistaken on my history. I thought that at the birth of our nation we had some sort of war in which we kicked some British booty and said, "We're staying on this side of the pond and ruling ourselves." Apparently it was more like, "So, guys, we voted, you're out." and the British said, "Fair enough, we're glad you put it to a vote." They then boarded their boats and yelled "Hurrah Democracy!" as they sailed back home. I knew my history books were bound to be a little off, but I had no idea it was this bad.
