How has Bush effected the image of America Around the world?

Answer 1

I think he is horrible and he has given the US a bad name. I am ashamed to have him as our president. I can't wait until 2008 so we can elect a new one, hopefully we'll do better this time around.

Answer 2

I've been to India and South America in the last couple of years and I can't believe anyone would say that Bush evokes a positive reaction from people around the world. He is universally considered to be a stupid man in my experience. As to the effect on the USA's international image - it has basically made a faeces covered mess of it. The US has always persued policies that exploit other countries - what Bush has done is basically to follow this old line but do it in such an obvious way that the underlying distrust that existed internationally before has become an open sore of hostility.

I am neither a Nazi, a terrorist or any other kind of pigeon-holing reference that opponents of Bush are labelled with. I just have an open mind, listen to the people who wish to engage with me in reasonable debate.

So I'd love to hear a really good case for how Bush has made US look better internationally. What's his popularity rating inside the US at the moment? Is it 31%?

The conclusion about Bush seems so obvious that I can't see how someone who does not either have a vested interest, a closed mind or a very low IQ could possibly consider him a decent influence on the US's image abroad. Or perhaps it's just plain old ignorance.

But please don't take my word for it. Go abroad - South America is cheap for instance- and it's exciting too.

Go find out for yourself.

Answer 3

The man comes across as an incompentent. He is not a strong leader and as such reflects that the American people are weak and incompetent. His election was seen as a result of a political back handed deal and his re-election a joke. He who has the most money and the best "spin" will win. And the sad thing is a gullible american public accepted it.
eg: Fahrenheight 911 asked too many unanswered questions. The reporting may have been biased and a bit one sided, but the the questions were asked and were not addressed.
For the people to accept such an indecisive leader and with a seemingly personnal agenda makes them stupid as well.

Answer 4

I will answer the question ...For some of you that think that if you do not like BUSH you are , Nazi, terrorist, comunist etc....I esure you that I love this contry and I love freedom...
I think that Bush himself is not realy nothing else but the person that is HIRED to do what we are going through now..
For some may be SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM
For me OIL CONTROL....I am for it...I want my country to keep having the control of energy resources since this is the way to be recognized as the MOST POWERFULL COUNTRY in todays world....
Well Bush did not realy do that ...His plan for me was a plan of a leader that did not do his homework.
He should have been concitrated into total defit of ALCAIDA before geting us into IRAQ...
" You can't hold two water melons under the same shoulder"....
We have to deal with two problems...ALCAIDA ....and ..IRAQ and THE REST ( IRAN, N.KOREA.etc) the rest of the world that is leting us spend all our energy and resources RESOVING their problems.
He is not inteligent enough to deal with the SNAKES that exist all over the world ....I do not mean the enemies but our friends as well.
There is a prayer that goes like this:
" GOD PROTECT ME FROM MY FRIENDS....FROM MY ENEMY I CAN PROTECT MY SELF"
We need someone smart enough and sofisticated enough to be able to deal with the world problems and be respected NOT BY GIVING AWAY OUR RESOURCES and the lifes of our sons and doughters, but be able to create an enviroment that will give us more real alies and therefore more leverage to resolve our problems...
I think in short THE MONEY SPENT TO OVERTHROUGH SADAM could be spent to BUY HIM..IRAQ PEOPLE DO NOT REALY CARE ABOUT DEMOCRACY AND ARE NOT READY FOR IT ANYWAY..

WE NEED THE RIGHT PERSON TO GET OUT OF THE MESS NOW ...?

Answer 5

The world is jealous of the USA always has and always will be. They are just using the war and distorting it to make Bush look evil. But in reality the USA is giving hope to the middle east and offering them a chance at real freedom. Which they have never had. The USA is a lamp of freedom to the world and alot of people dont like the USA right now because of that. Plus Bush has made it clear if you mess with us you will DIE period. Plus with that coward on top. "The united states of America." Hes most likely Canadian and is jealous that when people say Americans they mean USA. He feels that Canadians are Americans too but they arent.

Answer 6
