Bush in Europe....like a rat in the living room.
Europeans must think Americans voters are just plain nuts for sending such a dangerous imperialist in our presidential limo. I used to think Bush was just a national embarrassment. Foolish me. He`s a threat to the entire globe.

When Bush lectured Putin about a free press, I couldn`t help but think about the pathetic collection of media starlets here at home. You know the ones, with breaking news about Brad Pitt while unarmored humvees patrol Iraq and naked detainees are dragged around on leashes. I also thought about those loyalty oaths that were required during Bush`s Great American Town Hall Tours. Mr. Freedom-Lover himself spreading the love.

I wonder what Europeans thought about Bush`s decision on who can have nukes and who can not. Here`s Bush warning the world about the danger of nukes in the hands of mad men while Rumsfeld is busy in his lab overseeing the design of our nifty new "burrowing" mini-nukes. Would the last guy who bombed another country please stand up?

The only reasonable next step for Bush and his American Coalition of the Willing Fascists is to stamp the foreheads of the opposition and put them in camps. Comply and admit... The "Dean Scream" was far worse than a few hooded passengers on a secret torture plane or a few oil guys crafting our energy policies. I suppose when Bush returned there was a hero`s welcome somewhere in Washington. I can see it now, a sea of brown uniforms and Brit Hume dabbing drool off his flag tie.

1. OH MY GOD!
LECTURING PUTIN ON DEMOCRACY? Mentioning protection of monorities, a free press? I think the whole world is more aware of our lack of Democracy then the People who voted for Bush! If it wasn't for DU, and the other places we can find the truth, we might still be in the dark. How dare he lecture anyone about anything except for pleasing Satan! He knows all about that!

3. in the eyes of the world
we are but a nation of hypocrites. It matters not who voted for whom - we can only redeem ourselves by making things right.

4. Very well put!
It drives me nuts hearing him preach the freedom and liberty thing while restricting the very same thing here. Calling other leaders tyrants when he is working on becoming the biggest one ever. Going on about terrorist when we are the country that creates them. Calling other countries rouge nations when we are the most dangerous one.

I really think all these speeches are more for the blind here, than the people of Europe. He is making the stupid here think that we actually have freedom and liberty and that he is defending it.

7. I think they see the difference between Bush and us voters...
They know that at least half of us tried desperately to get rid of him. And I read somewhere that Europe was following the election fraud news with a lot of interest, so hopefully they realize what most of us do--that he's not legit.

It's like Americans looking at Russians: we don't hold the Russian people accountable for Putin. We suspect that their elections are rigged too.

9. Global politics is about economic power.
Most leaders of countries don't give a rat's ass about democracy. Their economies are the top priority. Most countries are Oligarchies, as the U.S. is.

10. The Idiot Son lecturing anyone about the Freedom of the Press
should be taken as the joke it is. I'm sure the irony is not lost on the Europeans,
especially the German Press who had their "press conference" canceled when
they would not agree to following nitwit's script.

It's sad that a good percentage of Americans are still gleefully wearing blinders
when it comes to the actions of this administration.
