The author first states out that he has been traveling around America writing a book. This makes me feel like he knows what he is talking about and is intelligent. The author feels that America can have greatness again and we just need to work on it. We are borrowing money from Singabore and other countries.He also tells us an incident about how the president went to Saudia Arabia and begged them to lower gas prices. I liked this example because it shows how bad America is doing. He thinks all America is doing is trying to live the American dream by buying the big house etc. instead of working on studying hard, working hard, and living within your means. I connect with the author right here and totally agree with him.The author belives we need a president who well come straight out and tell the American people that we are living on borrowed money and time and we need to get back to working on our country. I really liked this article because I could relate to the author and he wrote it in a way you could easily understand. I wish he would have put some statistics or numbers in there to show how much we are borrowing from other countries and such.
