The Doctor

I am really proud of what America has accomplished, Doctor, and this is a big day for us Americans--20 years ago a minority President would have been unthinkable. Even 10 years ago I would not have thought it possible, but Obama is a very special man. America is not the be-all, end-all in the world by any means. We have our screw-ups like any other country. I don't agree with everything the US does. Some countries do some things a lot better than we do. However, the US does democracy better than other countries, and I'm proud of that part of America. Pride about what the US has accomplished on this day should not be mistaken as American arrogance, however. I'm fine with saying we're not perfect and shouldn't view ourselves as 'better than all the other countries', because we're not.
