It means: Using tactics of caution and non-aggression, backed up by the ability to do violence if required. It supposedly was something that president Theodore Roosevelt said in a speech in April 1903. He said, "There is a homely old adage which runs: 'Speak softly and carry and big stick; you will go far.' If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Munroe Doctrine will go far."

The term was given to Teddy Roosevelt during a speech in 1903 in Chicago. The phrase meant to use a non-aggressive tactic and proceed with caution but, be ready to do violence when required. BTW, those who are looking a president with excellent quality, it would be a man that has the same characteristics as T.R. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt
