any incumbent since Wilson. Also, a substantial majority of Americans think global warming is real and a serious threat. So you got that one wrong too.
And health care and the economy are among the top concerns in polls this year. So you're wrong on that as well. > They prefer ignorance. Period. > > And they're *proud* of thinking this way.

You *should* be pissed off. It's an ignorant assumption on the part of the Europeans that all Americans are stupid, since most aren't. It might be a good idea, instead of trying to prove that you're one of the few smart Americans, to disabuse the Europeans of their bigoted perspective about Americans in general. Or, for that matter, given all your mistakes I pointed out agbove, maybe you should stop to consider whether the Europeans are right about *you*. (I particularly like the one about our having elected Bush in 2000 despite his lies about Iraq.)
