Why can't Americans see George Bush for what he is, a bully and a retarded one at that?

some of us saw that at the start.  for the first time, when he was elected,  I actually got really mad over an election result.  the rest of them took some time.  but i think they have caught on, at least a slight majority has.  we shall see with the elections today.

The problem, as I've noticed, is that most Americans (I'm American; this does not apply to me) are VASTLY uneducated in how to determine things for themselves. Someone tells them how things are and they believe it word-for-word. The thing is that wars themselves have never touched America (unless in events like Pearl Harbor and 9/11, which both got us INTO wars), therefore Americans nowadays have no real perception of what war is. To them, the "enemy" is whomever President Bush says it is, and that "enemy" is not a human just like them. Of course, in reality, all humans are alike, but Americans refuse to see that because of single examples of foreign people with which they come into contact, like Saddam Hussein. I bet most of them don't even know that Bush's father is the one who gave them the "weapons of mass destruction" for which we allegedly went looking in the first place, because those people are uneducated and intent on waging a holy war when half the country (those who voted for Al Gore in '00 and Kerry in '04--MY family) didn't even want our President to be OUR President.\n\nThe people who have half a brain, are educated in what's happening, have studied history and are looking toward the future are the people who AREN'T in power right now. I honestly didn't think much of Kerry in '04, but I have always hated President Bush and I always will. There is no one around willing to possibly sacrifice their political career by using the pull they have in politics and government to stand up, show this nation of idiots the truth, MAKE them wake up and mature, and go against what the government is currently doing. Actually, many Democrats in the Senate have been talking of impeaching Bush. I'm not sure if he would be convicted if such action was taken against him but I truly, honestly hope so.\n\nAnd if anyone wants to call me a Democrat, I am not; I'm liberal. And my views are not as they are because of this. I have conservative friends who study American History with me and they are also against the war. My kind of people simply aren't in power.

Because theyre fearful and buy into stereotypes. pretty easy to manipulate in that way. That's why Bush uses a lot of religious connotations. Fear helps in leading the masses.

ok, everyone, gonna lay it down right now, this is to canadians, americans , whatever, to label an entire group of people is ignorant and prejudice, and blatently at that. 100% doesnt exsist when it comes to groups of people, 100% arent going to be moronic, 100% arent going to be smart, 100% arent going to participate in a certain activity or know certain things, it takes only ONE to ruin 100, remember that,and seriously, it really angers me to see any1 from any country bashing another. and here are my thoughts on certain topics ignorant masses like to pick at for giving US bad remarks, such as the kerry bush election, when it comes to that , its in my opinion we were choosing the lesser of 2 evils, kerry wasnt exactly very well in himself oh and another thing, not even all of us voted for bush so even if it wasnt that situation >_> your still a mornonic goon for saying all americans are stupid for electing bush...when not even all did vote for him >_> nextly i think government propganda is also to blame for prejudice hatred of americans, media purposely driven in an anti-american tone filled with subliminal ways of making u think a certain way yes american media does the same, but all do also. i could seriously go on but  im not going to waste any more of my time explaining what should be an obvious thought of stupidity, hating an entire group of people, something mr."k2remi" seems to not mind thinking, an example of someone truelly idiotic

It seems that Mr Bush is a very focused man - which could be a good thing, but has instead been a negative thing.  There have been people inside his administration who have tried to give him advice and he has almost categorically ignored them.  It seems that there is information that is welcomed and accepted, and then there is some information that is swept under the carpet.  I think people feel disenfranchised when the President and congress act as if we are preschool children and we are incapable of making informed decisions at all.  Most Americans are intelligent enough to take the information that is presented to us on a daily basis and form opinions and ideas.  We just wish that we felt represented and not dragged along behind whatever agenda our government decides is important.

The problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot,(And He IS An Idiot) he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\nOf course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, why is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \n\nMany Citizens Make the assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as much cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. \nIf you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible.

While presidents seem all powerful in reality they are compelled to follow an agenda that is set primarily by the political party which they represent and by the will of the majority (although this does not always seem the case).  Mr. Bush is simply the figurehead or mouthpiece for those agendas so it is a bit unfair to call him stupid....perhaps you consider the policies he is pursuing to be stupid.  As to the support....don't forget that he was elected by a majority all of whom had an opportunity to make other decisions.  Those decisions will be made again in 2008 and maybe you will see a different type of candidate elected to pursue other agendas for this country.  That is the essence of democracy.

Americans, like our President, are notorious for our lack of knowledge and lack of interest in the views of people of other countries and other cultures. Remember Freedom Fries?  In clinical jargon, we describe those who feel that they should be treated special because of the type of person they are, and who lack empathy for others,  as "narcissistic." Thus, America exhibits a kind of social narcissism. In recent years psychoanalysts have learned that narcissism is accompanied by pervasive, yet disowned, fear, shame, and hostility.\n\nWe need a revolution to restore the people's pride and break free from the corporate takeover that is everyday life in the USA.

I hate to admit it but besides the fact that George Bush Jr. is an idiot, many American are racists asshole! Most immigrants from Canada (Legal or not) have white skin and speak English. Other immigrants (legal or not) from other countries have darker skin and haven't learned English yet! \n\nMost Americans have an irrational and ignorant fear of immigrants from Central and South America because of their ethnic background

Because is is a bad leader who's damaging the planet and losing respect from all other countries. Because most Americans have woken up and realised he is an imbecile and not fit to lead a country.\nAnyway, Bush didn't lose an election, two more years till that happens. It's only the rest of his party that lost.

The american people like a "hero". \nAlso you appear to labouring under the assumption that the president has power and runs stuff. An ordinary person is also not easily controllable, so those a few levels down in the chain of command make sure the president is controllable; Say for example a liar (for blackmail), womaniser (blackmail), actor (too stuck up to realise whats going on) or stupid (too stupid to see whats going on)

Because George W. Bush don't care about America, or any of it's people regardless of race, color and creed. Mostly I think he just hates black people. That's why it took so long to get help for the victims of Hurricane Katrina down South, because they say that the majority of people living down there are black. I hate Bush. Plain and simple and I can't believe that I have to suffer for another 2 years while he's president. 6 years has been long enough. If I was Harry Belafonte I would just say to Bush, "Screw you. I'm not gonna apologize, because it's my right and you can't change that."

Because a lot of Americans are intellectually dishonest! They have a hidden agenda as well. So why not let someone else carry out what they truly believe, so that they can continue to hide and not get blamed, or have to take responsibility for anything! Bush is the perfect person for their mission!

There is a reason that George Bush was elected president in the first place - he is not so dumb as everyone seems to think.  Although he does have his faults, he has not commited an impeachable act, but has unfortunately taken the blame for many political wrongdoings as of late, just by being the president.  What people may not understand is that he is not the only person making decisions for and about this country; he has a large staff that is there advising him, so maybe they should take some blame too??

Because most Americans are idiots, don’t matter Republican or Democrat the American people want a leader with no “issues”.  For example if you are a leader and can make great decisions, you have done some shady stuff in the past, like had sex with your secretary on your desk when you were married.  The media will find out and make issues of this kind of stuff.  So we get losers like spoon fed Bush’s, Kerry’s, and Gore’s.   But the American people care more about X-Box games and who Brad Pitt is dating then border control, social, or international issues.  We (I am also an American) have become a nation of fat, lazy, morons…now there are a few exceptions I would say 30%-40% of Americans still care and have some brain power, but the masses don’t even have the mental power to understand and formulate opinions on issues like social security or border control.  If you ask an American what’s your opinion, its “I don’t know” “I don’t want to offend anyone” “I don’t want to look bad” Until Americans stop being idiots, sissies, and greedy, this trend will continue…..

It sounds like most of the President Bush haters are either children, uneducated, or forgot that sterling example of the democrats, President Clinton - who was almost impeached.\nIt is always proper as a citizen to call our president - by his title & name President Bush. If not a citizen - shut up & stay out of our politics. God bless our Troops & the USA.\nWar does not always work out the way we hope but I believe it was entered into for what we thought were just reasons. As a mother of a Army Lt., my sacrifice could be much greater than yours and I still pray for President Bush daily.
