I firmly disagree with the President on serveral points

but the one I want to talk about specifically is the one that no one would trade this country for another. Basically it was another "American Exceptional-ism" line. I would gladly trade our economic system for the one of the systems of the Western European Social Democracies. So no Mr. President I would trade our country's system because the fact is it is broken and your speech tonight and your actions throughout your term has given me little to no faith that you are able or even willing to fix it.
President Obama directed that comment to the congresspeople... not you and not me... the people in that room are doing ok! It is a game for them and none of them see a need to leave this country!
the people in that room are mostly wealthy or very comfortable and in positions of some power... the comment as to them.... they like the game they are playing and they have lost any sense of what it is like to be you or me
I personally know two people who left the US for employment and their personal enjoyment of life. It's a little telling when they say there's no way they're coming back.
