It's good marketing because people in unimportant countries have no great love for our president.

Well some people might not support something he did recently but would probally still vote for him, me included. I just dont think a add Describeing our president as "worse than hell" with blood running from the eyes and 666 written across the forehead would work to well here in America.
We finally have a president that looks out for America more than other countrys. This does not make him a popular man overseas.

At the end of the Iraq War in April 2003 Bush's popularity was 90%. Its now at 44%. So don't think you can say his rapid popularity decline was recent although it certainly been accerating lately. Keep in mind at the time Bush's popularity last November was about 49-51%. For him to be at 44% means undeniably that certain voters are expressing 'voters regret'. No President has ever won reelection with 44% approval.
He may care about this country, I dont't deny that. He's just doing a lousy job running it. Thats what the poll shows.

Right now i would probally vote no in a poll if I thought he was doing a good job as President. His policys on Immgration and sighning of CAFTA are kinda sad. He should be more focused on how to get armor on our troops in Iraq rather than how fast to get jobs out of the country, and how to make it easier for illegals to scurry across the border.
With that said does it mean i would rather Seantor Kerry be president right now, HECK NO IT DOESNT!

Polls showed that the country was ready to show Bush the door. His record during the first term was abysmal. The problem was the Dems put a smart, yet unemotional stiff as their candidate. Had the Dems put up a more aggressive candidate, Bush would have lost. But be fair, its unknown whether Kerry would have been a good president or not, we will never know.
I judge a President by results. This is why i voted Kerry. The fact is Bush as almost systematically been wrong on everything. From Iraq, to the enviroment, to the economy, to immigration, to schools to you nameit.
The man is just incompetant, and he surrounds himself with people that are even more incompetant then he is.
For example:
Can anyone explain why Rumsfeld hasn't been fired? If you can, Please let John McCain or Chuck Hagel know, because they dont know why either.

The double standard on this board is kind of sad. Anything Americans do and people disagree with its fine. As soon as American says something or disagree withs something in a foreighn country, its wrong and country bashing. Maybe i said some things i shouldnt have, but i think anything i said hails in comparison to things said about americans on this board.
I apoglize to anyone i offended.

Yes but to be fair we also know who Saddam Hussien and Kim Jong Il are as well so I dont think its as much a matter of importance and more a matter of notoriety.
As for the argument that NZ is not important well to quote Shakespare thou doth protest too much, methinks. As if it were not all that important you wouldnt waste time on it.
