He ain't my Commander and Chief. And who's criticizing, it's just a montage of actual video clips. Are you going to follow those same thoughts, if the Dems win the election?

He is, and yes. I'm not a big fan of Bush myself, but the rest of the world is laughing at us, and it is because we make ourselves look like fools doing this stuff.

All countries make fun of their politicians. It is human nature. In some instances here in Canada, even more so. Our leaders are much more accessible . They are just people like you and I and have faults. The public life is just that, public, so their faults are fair game.
Here is an example of one of our top political comics visiting our Prime Minister. Don't get the idea that the comic is a supporter of the PM , because he is one of his harshest critics.

True statements there trapper, but when people make fun of their political leaders they usually keep it in house. Americans have helped make Bush a laughing stock in the world's eyes, not just America's, and that isn't a good thing because in a way it makes this country look like a laughing stock.
Nice pic there cimm.

American has been a laughing stock for quite some time. And we've been hated in other countries. It's not really anything new, at least in my opinion. Here's something I got in the mail:
--------------- You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop
When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of "empire building" by George Bush.
He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.'
You could have heard a pin drop. ************************************************** Then there was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room saying “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done?” He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?'
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: 'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electric power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck...We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?'
Your could have heard a pin drop. ************************************************* A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies.
At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks, but a French admiral suddenly complained that, 'whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.' He then asked, “'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?”
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'
You could have heard a pin drop. ****************************************** AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE....
A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
'Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.'
The American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.'
'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!'
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, 'Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any damn Frenchmen to show it to.'
You could have heard a pin drop.
