hello mr. president – is the office respecting you? are you respecting the office?

what would you do if you were able to have a one on one conversation with any of the 43 presidents of the united states of america? patriotism may come up at sometime in the conversation. what does it mean? the president, no matter what his policies are or if you even voted for him or not, should still be referred to with respect for the title. or is that respect as a leader earned?
in the last 12 years, what have we seen change? the world was disconnected and very technologically expensive as we now have information (literally) at our fingertips. in today's podcast, wes states that we've taken advantage of the american spirit. ryan loves the American spirit, but sees the lawmakers destroying the nation.

i recently watched the incredible documentary america: imagine a world without her and it was SO eye-opening in which america is more of an idea than an actuality. it's the concept of the american dream that we are all striving to achieve. an absolute must-see!
