What Do You Like Least About America?

The day after the Republican “presidential debate” — and I use the term loosely because I don’t consider the network-controlled, rights-restricted, not-on-the-internet, sound-bite-interviews to be anything close to a “debate” — but the day after, the Democratic promoting blog Blue Tide Rising had a post about a question to Mitt Romney: “What do you like least about America?”

The blogger was not impressed with Romney’s answer: “I’m at a loss for words.”

As the post asked, if we can’t identify the problems, how can we reasonably expect them to solve them?

The post suggested these possibilities:

  • Today 45 million Americans began their day without Health Insurance.
  • 1 in 5 children in America live in Poverty.
  • Women in America earn 25% less than men performing the same jobs.
  • 1 in 4 of America’s homeless are Veterans of Foreign Wars.
  • Nearly 1/3 of American High School student never graduate.
  • 1 in 6 American children are obese.

What do you like least about America?
