I think Americans are at our best when we recover from a crisis. We've suffered some blows that other countries would have never recovered from.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We're Americans - in times of crisis, we step up.
We Americans are as great as we have ever been. But our government is broken.
We didn't crumble after 9/11. We didn't falter after the Boston Marathon. But we're America. Americans will never, ever stand down. We endure. We overcome. We own the finish line.
Americans have always been able to handle austerity and even adversity. Prosperity is what is doing us in.
I think we lost a great deal of sympathy and support with the way in which the crisis was handled, most importantly I think when we appeared to be grasping for too much at one time instead of identifying our priorities in a much more responsible fashion.
But through world wars and a Great Depression, through painful social upheaval and a Cold War, and now through the attacks of September 11, 2001, our Nation has indeed survived.
We have not recovered all that we lost in the Bush recession. That's why we need to continue to move forward.
Given a fair shot, given a fair chance, Americans have never, ever, ever, ever let their country down. Never. Never. Ordinary people like us. Who do extraordinary things.
America always recovers.
Generally, I think America is America. America has been through suffering like other countries, but America will come up. I have no doubt. It's just going to bounce. You know, you have ups and downs.
