America is not perfect. It never was. Americans can be some of the biggest pains in the rear that exist in the world -- many really do believe they know what is best for everyone else. They can be rude, defensive, arrogant and demanding. They are generous, caring, giving, helpful.
America has been in far more financial trouble in the past than it is now. I don't know if we have a way to get out of mess but I do know that if anyone in this world can survive whatever is thrown at them, it is Americans. It won't be easy; it will take sacrifice by all; it will take both the left and the right working together, but I have faith in this country and its people that it will ultimately all come together.
Stand tall and be proud. This is a great country with some great people living in it. It ain't perfect but it is the best there is.
