Why is Pres. Bush the object of jokes around the world?

Question

There certainly has never been an American President who has been so universally derided and scoffed at. Why?

As one indication of this, I simply entered one word into google images; "bush". And here's what came up.

Answer 1

He has been caught in numerous falsehoods. People are suspicious of his actions, and view them as self-serving. Therefore, he is derided.

Because of his manner of speaking, his inappropriate smiles, mannerisms, and general appearance he is perceived to be of less than normal intelligence. Therefore, he is scoffed at.

Because of his obvious lack of planning re: Iraq war and how to deal with winning, he is viewed as a fool.

Because of the failures in response to Katrina, he is viewed as a poor leader.

Finally, he is viewed as a hypocrite. Can't use aborted fetuses to try to develop treatments for very bad diseases (stem cell research) because it is KILLING. Yet, look at the casualties (Not only American Forces, think also of American Civilian Casualties, Iraq civilian casualties, and other Nationals who have been killed in war--But he's against killing?

To recap: A liar. Self-serving. Appears stupid. A Fool. Poor leader. Hypocrite.

Answer 4

Because he makes it sooo damn easy.

And yes there has, Tricky Dick Nixon & Jimmy "Peanut Farmer" Carter were pretty much mocked world wide too.

Might do some of you young uns some good to pull out the history books. All the things are in place for another fun round of no jobs, high taxes, government excess and inflation.

Hold onto your hats, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Answer 5

Where were you during the Clinton years? It is not easy being the leader of the most powerful and most prosperous country in the world. Jealousy you know.

Answer 6

Yeah..I agree with Johhny...If I hear him say the word nucular one more time...I may have to secceed from the union, and form my own government. He's dealing with other countries who have NUCLEAR weapons, and don't like us very much....and he doesn't even bother to learn how to say the damned word!....There's a big difference between being folksy...and just sounding ignorant....

Answer 7

Because he surrendered our rights, freedoms and values to the terrorist. And then he picked on a country which was not actually the main enemy but picked on them because they were much weaker. All this without displaying one shred of intelligence.

Answer 8

I think the humor is a coping mechanism to hide the utter loathing 95% of the planet has for the man.

Answer 9

Yes, you should read through some of those links.

Then maybe you will get a sense of the "why" you are searching for.

Answer 10

many of us can't tell if he's showing the broad range of his intellect, or if he is dumbing down his vocabulary and pronunciation for the "common people", when he gives a speech.

I think most of us would prefer to think it is the former.
