America the beautiful
Pete has made an excellent and maybe somewhat over-looked point. America, with all its faults, is still the greatest country in the world and I'm still proud to call it mine. We have privileges and rights other countries fear and envy. Russia is in the news again for being everything that America is not. Thank God for that! I think we all wish America would return to the original ideals that founded it and maybe someday it will be completely unrecognizable. For the time being bring on the compliments and criticism allowed by our great constitution.

The Constitution has an interesting history - it is the result of a political coup (only later ratified by the people), that elects the people as the Nation's sovereign. Although I disagree with the election of an arbitrary and autonomous sovereign, it IS the governing document of this Nation and as a citizen, I am bound by it.
Obama and McCain apparently are not. If they were, we would return to the gold standard immediately as well as end the 'war on terror!' as sanctioned by the Constitution.
