Well, we say we can do everything better than everyone else, but we can't get medical care to people who need it unless they're wealthy. We can't educate our children very well and we certainly can't look out for our least fortunate citizens. We have the highest costs of any industrial nation with the lowest outcomes for all but the top 10 or 20%. So we tell ourselves that we're exceptionally good when in fact we're exceptionally bad at taking care of our own people.
If I were an evil mastermind I would be highly impressed at how America actively and joyfully fights against their own well being and rights. Well done!
Actually no, I am rather impressed with that, sad and flummoxed but very impressed.
Marketing. We're so good at it that we even believe our own press about how exceptional we are.
I thought it was exceptionalism, or is that just a marketing ploy? :)

I never thought I'd feel sorry for an American until I started reading about some of them on the internet. Quite an eye opener.
