Have you ever left the country?
Aside from living in New York City (the city that ACTUALLY got attacked), I travel to Europe 3x a year and to Asia 1-2x a year and I can tell you without a doubt, if America were a stock, it would be trading at pennies.
On the question of Obama versus McCain: people literally ask me all the time, "What is wrong with you people?"
When you say this in America people respond, "I don't care what others think."
Fine, that's a perfectly reasonable answer, but facts are facts, our stock is very low and McCain won't raise it.
As an aside, unlike Mr. Bush and the Christian right, my distance from the WTC was better measured in feet than miles. New Yorkers besides that traitor Giuliani know what this country needs and it's not more xenophobia.
And as much as we like to make fun of the French, if Middle America were stand up citizens, they would say, you know what, they were right about Iraq. |
