Between hearing Obama blame a lot of the world's economic problems during his overseas, "Kiss the rest of the world's ass" trip (credit Jay Severin of Boston's 96.9 WTKK for that one) and Secretary Geithner mention that America is open to considering a global currency, I realized a major issue I have with our current government (as if there's only one). That issue is the fact that they seem to neglect the fact that America is still the greatest country on earth. We don't answer to the rest of the world; they answer to us. And we sure as hell don't let Korea move rockets into an area where a launch could potentially reach America. But at some point, we stopped playing the position of world leader. Why? I don't know, but I would say our current president contributes greatly to it because he is more worried about being liked rather than feared.
I don't really know where I'm going with this, but all I remember is being outraged hearing some of our leaders talk. I can't stand to listen to someone who supposedly speaks for me carry on about how bad America is and how we screwed everything up. We didn't screw everything up. I don't care if the only way to get France to like us is to get all soft and apologize for being big, bad America.
Despite what our leaders might say, America isn't some disgraced country that's in shambles. We're still the greatest. Let's start acting like it.
