Is this from a movie??? which one??

I don't think it is..the guy giving the statistics is none other than an older Jeff Daniels, from 'Dumb and Dumber' fame with Jim Carey.

Gotta wonder if actors/actors in roles like this actually are in agreement or behind a position? Or, if they are just recruited and brought in for their talent.

Anyway, he's right. I think SOIssues posted something, a list on what America was actually the leader of the world in these days..I'll try to find it and put it up.

Dave in the Philipines

I know who the people are, I am wondering where the clip came from originally. Was it a movie, a PSA, an after school special?

Anyone that has been watching the US over the last 30 years and has studied history at all would know that we started dropping out of the lead in most things in the 80s, at least anything we should be proud of.

The actors were recruited for their talent more than likely, as the almighty dollar drives most here in the USA, regardless of its actual worth. Even if an actor in there said they agreed, until they walk the walk, the talk is cheap.

It's from an episode of HBO's The Newsroom

Thanks aladdin4d...

Wow.........I like it and his right.

Wow!!! This definitely needs to be spread around and I am going to send out lots of emails because this is what America has come to! :-(

Wow, that is amazing! So true!

He's 100% correct on what America is!!!!! Politics and politicians are further dividing America, it's both sides!! I would be happy to call America my home but honestly, it's not. America is the country that does not care about her people, it's the interest of politicians that drive change and the fear they drive into the minds of the people that herds them into voting to 'pacify' that fear.

I'm embarrassed to be an American. In fact I call myself by my heritage, choosing not to be identified as an American.
