America as less than No. 1 (Dan Henninger)
WSJ ^ | August 11, 2011 | Daniel Henninger

So this is a taste of what it will be like when the American superpower starts shrinking. Enjoying it yet?

After the humiliation of the United States losing its AAA credit rating; after watching the American stock market descend into chaos; after living for two years in a $15 trillion economy unable to grow beyond 2%, with unemployment rates rarely experienced in the U.S., Americans have their first whiff of inhabiting an empire in decline.

We don’t individually, and we don’t as a nation.

This pretender is either oblivious to what he is doing on our behalf, or he believes we should be in a subservient role, and is willing to telegraph either or both to all world leaders.

That’s what you think Obama. Wait and see you (expletive deleted)!

Thanks for your response.
