China Meiguo

After watching President Obama's State of the Union speech last night, I couldn't help asking myself the question, made famous by the great American philosopher Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?" I think it really shows the extent of political gridlock in America when the opposing party get more digs in a State of the Union address than the scapegoat foreign enemy (China) - which is somehow stealing American jobs, even though its largely American companies taking advantage of the cheaper labor market in China. Wouldn't it be nice to have an America where people of different race, religion, ethnicity, and even political party could all just get along. Anyway, here's a funny animated video which gives me hope for a better world.



By the way, the question posed above is purely rhetorical. I know the answer is no, but I can't help continuing to dream of a more united America where, instead of partisan party bashing, the government might actually be able to get something useful accomplished.
