Is America the greatest country in the world?

http://youtu.be/1zqOYBabXmA

So I posted a link to a clip that shows a monologue from the t.v. show The Newsroom. I was shown this clip last week in one of my journalism classes and it was so powerful that I just couldn't stop thinking about it. The question is, why is America the greatest country in the world? There are a lot of reasons, but listen to Jeff Daniels' answer. It may be shocking, it definitely was for me but it really hits home about the country that we live in and how much it has changed over the course of time. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful I live in America and the many opportunities we have, but this really opened my eyes to what is really going in our country and it also made me really want to start watching this show. 

Start out around 3 minutes though and there is some language, but we're all college students.
