"But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.
Yes we can."
surely most of you have already seen the "Yes We Can" thing, however, doesn't the entire quote just fully encompass the American attitude?
ah, don't be so quick to respond in such a manner my friend, i believe i said that it is and has been the american attitute, which is had to argue...i didn't say anything about the context in which it was used or any substance that comes with it...had the thread title been "proud to be an american" and the quote been my some average joe, would the response have been the same? we're talkin the quote, not the man here
ah, don't be so quick to respond in such a manner my friend
You're sounding like McCain now.

I wouldn't say that it's the general attitude now. After the Great Depression, most people thought Horatio Alger's stories were bull****. What makes you think that's the attitude today? Really though, it's just a nice phrase that doesn't mean much. Some would say that Obama's health care plan and other social reforms don't go with it at all. Some would say that it does because we're helping everyone out without being too greedy. Christians say you'll get back more than what you gave. It all depends on how you interpret it.
Oh yeah, can you tell me why Obama and Hillary are so fixed on attacking each other on lobbyists funding their campaigns, racist comments, and not bigger issues like the Sabarnes-Oxley Act? I bet you that the Democrats won't even bring it up once Obama or Hillary get elected as President.
Can't Argue Obama on this one
