I wish I could vote for this man if he were to run for office

Last week I heard Rick Steves interviewed on GritTV and was thoroughly impressed with his stories and anecdotes about his travels around the world, reporting for PBS.

Well, I just got this clip of him and his short take on our American Empire and how we are perceived by the rest of the world. I highly recommend watching it and hearing what he is saying.

I can relate as I come from another country where I still have relatives living there. Some of what he says rings true in my family's view of America and what we have become know the world over for. I could say more, but I will let Rick speak for me, far more eloquently. As an aside, he is reputed considering running for a U.S. Representative district seat in Washington state. If only we could have a more open minded candidate for office here in South Carolina (Unlike Bob Inglis or our two Senators DeMint or Graham).
