Quick Thought About American Exceptionalism

Sarah Palin is the first person in a long time who articulated the concept of American exceptionalism and American ideals. I think that was the most important line of the night. She hit Obama pretty hard by saying that America is not always perfect but she is always proud of her country because of the ideals of the country. I can't remember the last time I heard Obama say something like that about his country - either abroad or here in the U.S. Typically the best he can muster is, "everyone knows how I feel about my country."
