Do you think it is okay for people from other countries to bash our president?

Question

I personally dont like him but I also dont like people from other countries posting negative comments about him....opinions anyone ?

Answer 1

Sure, it's OK, but it is amazing the amount if misinformation being spread throughout the world about the US. I think that bothers me more.
Perception of the US and our policies, is often amazingly way off the mark. You don't see alot of posts making fun of many other leaders around the world.

I think it's good that it annoys you, GW is OUR president, and even if you don't like him personally, or his policies etc, having respect for the office, and for the fact that he is the president is important. This is a 2 party system that we have, and there will always be a winner and a loser.

Answer 2

Who cares about what a person says. Everyone has their own mind. Even people from other countries. It's the action associated with a thought that can be wrong.

Answer 3

Not meaning to answer a question with a question however....there is no requirement of nationality for a person to be able to see and expound upon someone acting a fool. A person of any nation seeing Pres. Bush smirk and snicker self serving ignorant responses to sound and important questions cannot help but be critical of him. He has proved himself to be an embarrassment to the citizens of the USA, and a threat to peace and possibly the existence of all mankind.

Answer 4

I really don't have a problem with it. I do not like Bush either, and what he needs to realize is that his decisions do have an effect on the rest of the world.

Bush only further provokes the rest of the world to hate us, perhaps making the terrorism problem worse than it otherwise might be.

Answer 5

If we can bash him, they can bash him. I understand not really wanting to hear somebody else make negative comments about someone who isn't even their leader, but what are we going to do to stop them?

Answer 6

Fair game. and sami is an idiot. ofcourse we can here in our country. Our nation was built on rebellion. Thats all our forfathers preached about. if you feel something isnt right with the government then by all means let them know. Its a government for the people, bye the people. We shouldnt just respect an idiot because hes our president.

Answer 7

I don't personally like it either, but I believe the constitution when it says that certain rights are Inalienable. One of those is free speech. Human rights don't belong only to us, and I will defend anyones right to speak their position- even when I think they're mistaken.

Besides, I think he's done nearly as much harm to the world as he's done to America. It's hard to blame people for feeling angry about having their lives negatively affected by a man who they didn't have a chance to vote against.

Answer 8

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Just as you have the right to bash the leaders of other nations, so too do citizens of other nations have the right to bash our leaders. You don't have to like it, but you do have to accept it. If free speech is good enough for you, it's good enough for everyone else, too. Be glad you have it.

Answer 9

Well, since our foreign policy affects the rest of the world, since we seem to have appointed ourselves the World Police, I guess they are entitled to say what they think, esp places where we have taken their natural resources or taken over their countries. They are entitled to their opinion...it's good to hear others' opinions, even if they dont agree with yours. It's called open mindedness, something that many in the U.S. are not capable of.

Answer 10

Not if he's "our" President, but Dubai Dubya is only the president of a greedy, unAmerican, drug-addicted, pedophiliac, ignorant, and spoiled fraternity house.
