“America”, after all, is shorthand for many other terms: ....., Hollywood, a source of investment, a place to go to study, a land of economic opportunity, a big regional power, the big world power, a particular policy, the memory of something once done by the United States, a set of political values based on freedom, democracy and economic liberalism, and so on.
In the right hands, a skillful POTUS, America could have the world kissing a@@.
George W. Bush doesn't have the smarts. Besides, he owes too much to the religious right and the neocons.
