The America

My country can not get out of depression and insecurity that has fallen on 11 September 2001.
The collapse of the Twin Towers gave us the "Divine Bush" and brought the country to support for two presidential terms and two wars where no end in sight.
The election of Barack Obama, 5 November 2008, seemed to represent a new beginning.
The first black president in U.S. history: a hope for minorities, a promise of change, both political and ideological.
But that hope was short-lived, marred by political opposition and severe economic downturn that has brought America into a state of deep depression.
Today 57% of Republicans believe that the president be Muslim and 45% believe that it is not even born in the United Sates.
America today is disintegrating, a country even more divided."
