I believe that what's happening to america will become positive afterwards. It's just a reflection of the truthfulness of what Douglas McArthur was saying "There is no such thing as security on Earth, only opportunity..." No one can tell (any nation), that they are always OK. It's time for Americans to see and reflect, and humble yourselves that you are not economically indispensible. Neither Obama or McCain can solve the problem you are facing, only by americans (Reps or Dems) being united just like what happened to the japanese after WWII. IMHO, what's happening to america right now is a good indication of a higher leap depending on the attitudes of every americans... just my two cents.
