Hi Ldel UK calling he is probably about as popular as the Dictator we have here telling us what to do,both of them seem to think together they can Police the world,very few people here want our troops in iraq ,but are your politicians as corrupt as a few of ours appear to be?
Well, I would say the UK who have a 'special relationship' with you don't particularly like him. Probably more the fact that he is seen as a bit of a bumbler (a bit like our Prince Philip).

Scary that he is in charge of the biggest 'free' country.
Not to put too fine a point on it but he's a f*ckwit. Clearly a puppet. I know thy say all presidents are just figureheads with the real powermen in the backround but he takes the buscuit.
I think the rest of the World dislikes him even more then you do.

If you live in a country where U.S troops are bombing and killing people, I'd say it's a fair bet that you'd find a stronger word than "dislike" to describe your feelings for the drunk-driving, cocaine-possessing, election-stealing, incoherent, lying moron.


SO jamesy boy do we take it you don't rate him?

It has become trendy to hate GWB. I suppose he got off on the wrong foot with a lot of the lefty's in the world when he saw through thier eco propaganda and refused to join up to the Kyoto cobblers.


I don't personally take any notice of the torrents of anti Bush, or indeed anti anyone propaganda, I prefer to do a bit of research and arrive at my own conclusion.


Given he was elected I guess a fair proportion of Americans must think he's ok. For what it's worth I think if he'd lost either of his opponenets you'd be in far worse state than now. Kerry and Gore would both have been a disaster.

What I dislike is the way he has formulated American foreign policy, ignoring and denegrating others rights in pursuance of his and America's ideals.


American people I generally find to be very nice people, and I think it is very unfortunate that they are "served" by a president who does their countries reputation and standing in the world so much harm with the majority of ordinary people (we can forget the psychophant Blair).


What surpised me was he was re-elected with a bigger vote than before when he stole the first election with help from little brother. So I dont know how much he really is hated in the USA by his own citizens.

Yep Ldel,he's right on par with that d*******wad we have as P.M.
I love Looseheads comment that he got off on the wrong foot when he refused to sign up for Kyoto. I think the fact that he's responsible for more torture and killing in the last few years than Sadam managed in the whole time he was in power is why he's reviled in most civilised countries.

Shshhh rojash, don't say that. You may be called a lefty for being anti GWB. Oops there I said it. It's a cheap tactic used by certain individual to label any anti Bush as lefties and let this moron government to get away with whatever they can. That really sucks!


I thought GWB got elected because of his majority vote by their electoral system (not quite sure what it's called) and not election votes??? And what about the scandal regarding the removal of votes from the database in the first election?

So anyone who is against Bush is just jumping on the bandwagon, are they? How very patronising.

"I prefer to do a bit of research and arrive at my own conclusion."

So do I. My conclusion is that he's a cretin. Thank you
Having lived in the USA throughout GWB's period as President I can assure you that he is disliked more and more over here with latest "approval" ratings at 36%. There's no way he'd win a third term and even Republicans, especially those up for re-election are deserting him. I know its taken way too long for the majority of the electorate to see through GWB and of course he didn't get a majority the first time anyway!! However the UK electorate has elected Blair three times so its very hard to be smug as a UK citizen saying I told you so re GWB!! PS sorry I didn't answer the Q.
They will just rig the votes again to get him in, like the last 2 times!!
He can't stand for election a third time!
They'd also have to rig the constitution!!
So is it another 2 years of Bush then?

Also, a big thanks to littleoldme for the hearty laugh I've just had.

Jamesy boy you forgot to mention that he is a bad dancer as well.

raysparx sorry to say we have our fair share too

he's not hugely popular abroad, mostly because he seems ignorant of and uninterested in the rest of the world. I'm not sure today's photos of him playing cricket will really help.


Like Reagan, he's often seen as a fool. I doubt that he is; unlike Blair, I suspect he's pretty much what he seems: personally genial, often tongue-tied with words (the British would never elect a leader who didn't speak well, but Americans seem okay with it), religious, and willing to let his cabinet get on with it (again unlike Blair, who interferes a lot). He seems to have the common touch, which Blair hasn't.


But his policies, particularly the military misjudgments over Iraq, have made both him and his country unpopular pretty much everywhere. America is seen as a bully, and people take a certain pleasure seeing in seeing individuals on the ground, such as Iraqi militants, thwart a nuclear superpower, even while they deplore the individuals' aims.


For what it's worth, Clinton remains very popular all round the world. His sexual indiscretions don't bother anyone much - as, it turned out when he was impeached, they didn't actually bother Americans who didn't belong to the Republican Party. But he, unlike Bush, was always interested in the wider world.
