It was former President Bush that got us into this mess not President Obama. At least now we have a President with a brain. We were the laughing stock of the world. Many countries lost respect for us and now they see us a bit differently. Let's face it us Americans we can't even speak one language much less 4 or 5 like in European countries.
When I was younger I heard some Germans calling us the "The flat heads". Never understood why until now.
So before we judge others let's think first.
