Not ashamed. Never ashamed. A little embarrassed perhaps that somebody that nobody knows who they are or what they think, or that has only appeared lately on the national stage with no particular life achievement... might become President... yah, that's a little embarrassing. But I'll never be ashamed of my country.
I wore the uniform. I have foreign conflict medal,among others. Embarrassed, yes. Ashamed, yes. Proud we could hurdle racial line, yes. On 911, could not believe we were attacked on our soil. On 11-4-08, can not believe America elected someone with these credentials. Also can not believe W. did not produce a protege with a solid footing. May god bless us all, everyone.
