Thanks, America

"Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers – in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people."

"And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope."

Do discurso de vitória de Barack Obama.

"Ou seja: afinal os europeus eram muito mais anti-Bush (...) do que anti-americanos. Foi o que a esquerda andou a dizer desde, pelo menos, a Guerra do Iraque. Tínhamos razão. Quando há razões para gostar da América, os europeus rendem-se. Eu acho normal."

No blogue do Rui Tavares.
