But it seems unfair to compare a stable, wealthy country like the US to poor, troubled nations, which is probably why Mr Obama referred specifically to “advanced countries”. It’s debatable what that means exactly, but if we look at the OECD group of advanced economies, we see that the US fares badly by comparison to many of those countries:"
