Mitt Romney had this to say about optisism in our country:
I think it is political pandering like this that makes the majority of Americans tired of hearing about how “great” America is. Everyone knows that there is a dark side to American history as well, but who is telling that story? It was questions like this that began the struggle and discussion of how to best present the dark side of history. The dark side must be presented just as the optimistic side. I think that we need to be prepared to present both sides of history, with an emphasis that there is a way forward that does not necessarily have to be ‘dark.’
