I guess my reaction was a bit overreactionary. I've just had to sit the last 8 years through the University system and everyone trying to blame every single problem in the world on Americans.
Not accusing anyone on this board of it, but there now seems to be a foregone conclusion in some circles that Americans could never do anything liberal, so if Obama gets elected he will be taken out instantly.
