View on G. W. Bush and America?

Question

I'm an American and want opinions from a different point of view. I do not like our president. Most of my friends and the people I talk to have the same opinion of him. I wonder if the people all over world think that all Americans are like him.

Answer 1

I'm Iraqi.....I think you can pretty much guess my point of view on him.

and nope, I never generalise people, Americans included. I know that there are rednecks in your country but I've been generalised enough because of where I'm from to know better than to think all of you are rednecks.

Peace and love

Answer 2

What you have to remember is your president doesn`t actually make any decisions. He has advisors who make the decisions for him - different advisors for different issues - and he is simply the spokesman. You don`t actually think he sits down, thinks all these things thru, and then says, " right this is what we`re gonna do folks !"----?? Half the time he doesn`t have half a clue what`s going on in the world. They wake him up, give him a run down on world issues while he drinks his coffee, then give him his speech - if one is required. So don`t dislike him. He isn`t actually DOING anything. Whoever your president was - they would do the same. That`s why anybody - and i mean anybody - including pop stars - can be voted in as president. It doesn`t take brains - just a well known face. Look at regan - he was in the movies - he set his sights on being president - and the people said WHOOAA THAT SOUNDS GRREAT RONNIE ! They voted for him coz they liked his movies - and he became president. Maybe you should run for president yourself next time round. Whereas in the uk, to have a chance at becoming prime minister - well for a start you`ve got to have a very good education - (great dancing or acting not taken into consideration ) see the difference now - and the problem....?
Anyway good luck.

I'm just an average Brit, (a bit above average because I'm a Scot),!
I am certain that not all Brits think that all Americans are like Bush. But you all voted him in didn't you?
I'm sure that all Americans don't think that we are all like Blair, but we voted him in didn't we?
If you or we don't like the present policies of this pair then the solution is in our hands, we don't do it again , we don't vote for their party, it's not a one man band, Blairs party have to support him or they all go down, same with Bush!
All this is called democracy , great isn't it??
My personal point of view is just that, personal, I will vote for whatever I believe to be correct, in the case of Blair, I would rather he and his party remain in power for ever, unlike many Brits, I know the opposition, I remember the Maggie rule.
I'm not going into that because I have enough violations to last me a life time!!!
At the end of the day, you get what you vote for collectively .
Democracy a great thing, just use it, vote.

Answer 4

he seems a bit stupid and looks a bit like a monkey no offence george
when I think of America I think of hamburger a go go land because of the Georgia Nicolson books lol!!! England gets a boring name in it Billy Shakespeare Land, hmmph not even an a go go in it! Sorry gone off the subject a bit there
I think America has cool tv shows we get to watch lots like Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, America's Next Top Model, The OC, So You Think You Can Dance, soo much better than stupid English soaps. I don't think you were asking about TV though.
I don't think all Americans are like George Bush I hope not! And I hope people don't think English people are like Tony Blair or the queen!

Answer 5

Some people say that George Bush shows Confidence in his demeanour and his approach to solving problems. One must also be aware that if Arrogance and Ignorance are entwined, the outward appearance is sometimes construed to be Confidence.......
Being the leader of a nation is a very arduous task to say the least, and "Wisdom" is a necessary component.
Only time will tell.........

Answer 6

Yes unfortunately Bush gives a bad example to the world of how and what America stands for. He is nothing but a war mongerer who should face a war crimes court in the Haig

Answer 7

You're a sad victim of liberal media propaganda.

You're the worst kind: you think you're an independent thinker, but in reality you're a sheep.

Clinton's military strikes to "prevent ethnic cleansing" and his circus antics, lies, and contract hits to cover his tracks have all been neatly swept under the rug, because the media worshiped him. If Katie Couric could have blown him on the Today show, she gladly would have.

If the media told you Bush was a god, like they did Clinton, you and your friends would believe, same as the anti-Bush propaganda that's being spewed around the world. I suppose you and your friends also think he blew up the twin towers so he could start a war against Islam.

"There's nothing so absurd that if it's repeated oft enough, people will believe it."

Answer 8

Its more the self proclaimed "We're the biggest and the best" attitude that seems to stem from the USA that bugs me the most. I am sure that there are many nice americans out there... sorry George but you are not one of them!

Answer 9

I support our President fully. We needed to go into Iraq to stop the dictator from hurting more of the Iraqi people and there were rumors of WMD and WMD's in his hands would be horrible. We stopped a dictator from hurting any more of his people and for that, we can be proud. It takes a long time to start a new country. Just look at us. America took a long time to get started and thriving and so will Iraq but I truly believe that one day it will be a democratic government just like our's and the Iraqi people won't have to live in fear anymore. President Bush did not go with what the people wanted but rather did what he thought was best for our country. He's a great president and I'm sad to see him leave office when his term is up.
God bless

Answer 10

Heavens no!

Never judge a people by the idiot they choose to rule them. In most cases they have been lied to and deceived and had no idea what they were getting into.
