"..but the trends are negative in US and positive in China.

No question.

And I found this quote from Thomas Friedman particularly resonant as to our current direction:

"On the front page of The Washington Post on Monday there was an article noting that Republicans Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee are denouncing Obama for denying “American exceptionalism.” The Americans have replaced working to be exceptional with talking about how exceptional they still are. They don’t seem to understand that you can’t declare yourself “exceptional,” only others can bestow that adjective upon you."

I am not here declaring that the US is the promised land, especially at this juncture.

But silly statements offered as fact will elicit my response.
