9. I can just imagine what it could have been

Like a world fair. There is so much great talent, foods, dance, music and American culture we could have displayed and celebrated.

Instead we get this crappy little disorganized, religiously sponsored sideshow. (They were baptizing Christians at a tent like it was a Christian revival.)

I just think about all the amazing Appalachian crafts and skills that could have been seen by all Americans, the native American arts and talents that could have been showcased, I could go on and on.

But no instead we get a mismanaged little political event that doesn't even provide chairs or benches. It's a disgrace and an insult to the United States.
