In the news, I have seen leaders of other countries state outload what they think of our current leader and his politics. Do you feel that citizens of other countries think that all Americans agree with our current leader and his polictics? Do you think they lump us all into one category?

I think the worlds citizens think just about along the same lines that we do. Americans tend to lump all Muslims as fanatics, all North Koreans as bomb builders, all Africans as poor and uneducated, South Americans as gardeners and housekeepers, and Europeans as an ungrateful bunch.
What is the typical American in the worlds view? We are too damn lazy and uninterested to keep our own house in order, or to even pay attention to uphold our own honor.

Firstly, I don't think they think we all agree with our current leader.
Secondly, it depends on what the categories are.
We don't all agree with the President. They probably hear news stories about U.S. citizens dissenting the President, and are aware of it.
As far as lumping us all into one category, I think it's hard enough for a country to be aware of one opinion, so they probably have lumped us into one category, but that category is most likely a blend of both the Democrat's and Republican's views.
I think when, internationally, people hear that a lot of the U.S. opposes our President, they feel better about it, knowing that we're fighting him, and they don't have to. It's kind of like "get your house in order". They appreciate that we're trying to do something about it.
However, it's one thing to say you oppose the President, and another thing to actually challenge him. If other countries think for a second that we're only speaking out against the President to sound as if we want peace, yet we're secretly rooting for him behind our backs, they will realize it, and react accordingly. That's why I felt so ashamed for America after Bush's re-election in 2004, even though I didn't vote for him; I still felt responsible.
Just "not agreeing with Bush" isn't enough. If he's doing harm to others, and we don't do something about it, somebody else will.

I sincerely hope not. I could not agree with the current political leader any more. His thinking is like that of a irate child who does not know the difference between right and wrong........

In most countries where the information mediums are not as vast as America for example, to create an opinion all you need is someone that you trust telling you the fact, and believe it until is disproved.
That's all you need in America too but at least here you can research it.

I really hope not, because I do not agree with our leader. Personally I can't wait until he is out of office. Our country has suffered enough

I think that some people do generalize us all in the US as supporting Bush, they should look at the polls and see that almost 70% of us disapprove of him.

Bush has been such a horrible president, that I hope people from other countries realize we're not all like him or approve of his "leadership".

I do not care what other leaders say. We are not responsible for them. We are a soverign country. There are many leaders who support the President. See Canada, Australia, England, and many we do not know about.

WE have too many in leadership aiding and abetting our enemies for their own gain, to incite ignorance and hatred. They make our country appear weak, vulnerable and easily tormented and defeated. We arm them with our negative, hateful words. A Nation divided against itself cannot stand.
