America is not the best country in the world?

           In friday's class, Mr Schick showed us a pilate of a new tv show. The video showed two news caster's (a man and women) fighting over politics and in the middle of them was another, male, newscaster. He was silent throughout the other newscasters fight and when questions were asked to them. When questions were asked directly to him, he'd make a joke out of it and say something that involved the New York Jets. Until a question popped up from a young college girl. She asked "what makes a America the best country in the world". After already making a joke out of the question, the man was forced to answer by the television host. The man looked around the room like he was contemplating his answer before he completely exploded. He went into very detailed and well responses supporting how there was no answer to this question because America wasn't the best country in the world. The man overly yelled and probably shouldn't have cursed the way he did but I have to admit he had a point.
         
         America isn't the best country in the world. I'm sad that I have to admit that the country I'm growing up in isn't the best but its' the truth. Almost half of our population doesn't even vote. We don't stand up for each other, we fight for ourselves. Lots of people talk about how our country is full of freedom but then when you see people from other countries come to ours, I hear complaints. It just doesn't make sense to me. I always hear my parents talk about how bad Obama is and maybe he isn't the best president that we've ever had but I don't think its right to blame every political problem in this world on him. He's only human. As a American's none of us own up to to our mistakes, we find someone else to blame and clean up the mess we made for us. As a fourteen year old girl, people would read this and say I didn't know what I was talking about but I do and I hear all the stuff I wrote about everyday.
