America exceptionalism: “Not a mouse. A very large turd.”
We all know how politically unpopular it is to ever say anything that negates American exceptionalism – and President Obama's statement was a political faux pas.
We have to be told we're special – God's chosen people. God forbid anyone suggest that our number-one position in several sorry areas (e.g., porn, highest percentage in jail, illicit drug use, etc.) may demonstrate a little lack of direction. I’m not saying President Obama said or meant that – but I did.
America, you’ve been a little lazy, you've let your math and science grades slip, your manufacturing skills and production rate have been sub-par, and your trips to the gym have dwindled to the church attendance rate of the recreational Catholic. So suck it up, you namby-pamby, pasty-white America, and live up to the promise those Asian kids have, okay? You're single-handedly embarrassing us in front of the Chinese.
