Americans are overreaching; overreaching is the most admirable and most American of the many American excesses.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One thing that is not to be underestimated is American culture's influence on the rest of the world.
America is militarily overstretched, politically polarized and financially indebted.
Americans are good people, and at times we can be wise. But we're often under-informed by media, misinformed by our government and ill-served by both.
It is, I think, an indisputable fact that Americans are, as Americans, the most self-conscious people in the world, and the most addicted to the belief that the other nations of the earth are in a conspiracy to under value them.
Americans are as they are. We have to accept this. Lots of Europeans forget that.
Americans are uneasy with their possessions, guilty about power, all of which is difficult for Europeans to perceive because they are themselves so truly materialistic, so versed in the uses of power.
It's painfully obvious to see that as Americans we can sometimes be wrapped up in our own affairs.
Americans are nervous; Americans are restless; and what troubles me the most is that Americans are uncharacteristically pessimistic.
We're loving something to death in a way, which Americans tend to do a lot.
I find that Americans completely lack sensibility and good taste. They are boring, and they all have faces like unbaked rolls.
