she may have made a political mistake insaing that but i would venture to say that she was echoing a sentiment that is felt througout this country with people 25 - 40. im prod as hell to be an amercan but i aint very proud of the way things seem to have been goin over the past 20 or so years.

when i was in germany our gov't told me not to tell people i was an american. try goin overseas to just about anywhere in the world tell someone your an american and you get the sentiment of "oh great another american". why do people all over the world hate us so much? and dont give me its because of our freedom. other gov'ts in the world like our gov't but the people dont like us.
