They are AMERICANS first. And last. Our journalist community doesn't get that fact. I am always proud of our Americans who excel at the Olympic sports. I have lived in a Socialist Country (Britain is the 80’s) and the USA is the best place to live on Earth! Period! Many of our athletes GET it, too.

I think being in China made them MORE appreciative of what we have in America..when they say it, it’s almost like they’re saying it for the first time...I’m not saying they are, just that it sounds like it’s fresh in their minds.
