If you think only republicans are what's wrong with America then you missed the point of this video.

[Cali C]

well this is fantastic.

I'm sorry, how do you define a country as 'the best'? All countries have their pros and cons. It's like saying 'This is band is the best band in the World.' There are bands of all different types of genres that you can't compare. Saying the country is the best is just stupid.

If you had watched the video, america is not the only one with freedom.

I think he's being sarcastic, or at least I hope

World's greatest artists came from Italy. Anyone who was actually important to art was Italian , or ether German or from Austria when it came to music .

[TheDoodlingSheep]

I think they missed a big point here.

Here is 3 reasons why America is the best country ever.

1. Murica

2. Merica

3. United States of America

He is but one man, he may have more power than you or I, but he is still a man. He cannot be any better a judge of character, or able to see through the facades of the dishonest politicians who surround him. He is but a man.

It infuriates me at the shear magnitude of ignorance that is allowed now, at some point, everyone was worried about the elections, they actually cared who was elected. Now they just care who wins "American Idol". It's complete bullshit, to think that we are breeding generations of Americans that have no concern for their futures and the future of their nation. They are willing to sacrifice their freedom for safety. It sickens me to see someone blame all of the problems on the president.

[420istoday]

It's not only Obama's fault, it's everyone's, you can't blame all the U.S. problems on one man. He does not have the infinite power to create or fix all of this counties problems, that's not how a democracy works. If you want to sit there and cry about who the president is, instead of trying to do something about the problems in our nation, you have that right. But remember, the nations problems are always at a vote. This nation is so distracted by the bullshit on TV and the radio.

This is quite possibly the greatest thing I have ever witnessed. Bravo. Bravo.
