The answers to our problems don’t lie beyond our reach. They exist in our laboratories and universities; in our fields and our factories; in the imaginations of our entrepreneurs and the pride of the hardest-working people on Earth. Those qualities that have made America the greatest force of progress and prosperity in human history we still possess in ample measure.
BARACK OBAMA, Address to Joint Session of Congress, Feb. 24, 2009
“Fortunately, we’ve got the federal government to hold these people back from accomplishing anything.”
Yeah, it’s not like they were exception or anything. After all they just started a country from nothing, beat the most powerful army of the time, twice, survived civil war, saved the world twice from itself, provide the impetus for world wide improvement in health and technology, went to the moon -several times. Buy hey nothing to see here.
*exceptional. Yeah spelling is always my Rubicon.
