However Zakaria is optimistic. I liked his view that America has been great, is great, and if it can maintain the OLD American spirit we know - the generosity, openness, and ingenuity - progress can be made.
This is a man (an immigrant!!) who was born in India, educated at Yale and Harvard, has traveled widely, and is well regarded for his political and economic coverage of the world. His speech offered humor and was thought provoking.
Plenty of moments to contemplate.
Let's have a thoughtful week, everyone
He thinks America is great....till he gets held up at the airport under the new travel ban. Then he'll change his mind.
ReplyDeleteHe is optimistic for America despite many issues right now. He has faith that some sense can prevail. ??!!
DeleteI like his attitude. He still sees the greatness in us.
ReplyDeleteExactly. He has a well rounded view
DeleteSounds like some of America's best attributes. I'm sure he could offer a very interesting perspective on things.
