Ebbie, hyperbole may not be your personal favorite, yet I do believe that America has some intrinsic advantages that other nations do not share. Most Americans still do not recognize that our Republic owes an historic debt to France, their aid in our revolution and to their democracy which we have pursued in our own infathomable ways.

We stand on the shoulders of giants and have become giants ourselves.

Lately we have grown too big for our own britches.

3 trillion dollars off budget money for The Bush wars on top of the global cheating Wall street scandel still has the potential to devastate our citizens.

I for one was inspired to go back to school as Obama advised.
