I was impressed by his speech..I heard Michael Barone praising it this morning.I think going to Great Britain was a wise thing to do now,although it made me nervous.
When we were in the UK this past summer and early fall, we didn't encounter the anti-American feeling among the "regular" people that we were sure to run into. To be sure, the Beeb and ITV were constantly bashing America.
The only one we ran into who had negative American feelings was a Turk running his own fish and chips stand. He said, "America is weird. It's violent." I told him not to believe everything he heard.
