American Exceptionalism... I’m surprised GMC made this ad their center piece for the Olympics...

American Exceptionalism infers that we are stronger and better than other countries when it comes to technological and economic success amongst other things..That Americans work harder, while Europeans lie around with too much vacation time.. Perhaps spending that time with their famlies.

Its this greed for wealth and power which was surely partly responsible for the collapse of our economy in the mid 2000s.. GMC is one of many Corporate entities who were devastated by this
event and relied on govt. loans (ugly socialism) to bring them back..

I am surprised that they ran this sort of ugly message....
and I think this Ad stinks to high hell..

There wouldn't be a General Motors, and there wouldn't have been the incentive to advance electric vehicles with the POTUS.
