During the eight years of the Obama administration, we witnessed the trashing of all things American. One of Obama’s first acts as president was to deny the existence of “American exceptionalism.” The cherished American icon of the “self-made man” was thrown to the dogs when Obama said, “If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Isn’t it strange that someone who hates this country as much as Obama could be elected twice to the office of POTUS? Under his influence, being an American has become something to apologize for. This negative animus has resulted in a feeling of pessimism in a country that was built on exceptional optimism.
In her book What the Bleep Just Happened? Fox News analyst Monica Crowley observed, “We’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. We’re sick and tired of being depressed and full of despair and thinking that our country is gone for good. We’re going to say, ‘Hell no.’” It took a while, but the voters finally had enough of Obama’s negativity. The election of Donald Trump means we can once more be proud of our country.
