Dear Barack… and Oprah
If you’re listening… um… I mean, reading…
I love you both. Barack… you in particular. As a Canadian, I love you. As a Canadian, and I will readily speak for my northern counterparts, we love you. We welcome a president of like mind. As we don’t have one heading our own ‘administration’…
However, as much as I love you… as a Canadian… and a Canadian supporter of Barack for Prez, my hackles are stimulated in a bad way everytime I hear an American I like, state with absolute:
“I would never have been able to accomplish what I have in any other country than the United States of America.”
Aaaargghhh!
Perhaps, “I would never have been able to accomplish what I have, without the hurdles/barriers/challenges that I have been forced by this, the United States of America, to overcome.”
Now… as a Canadian… this more accurate statement, I can get behind.
Regardless, I love you Barack! Ditto, Oprah!
