Americans always mad about something? You know it's funny, it wasn't always that way. That only started after some buffoon cowboy from Texas moved into the White House and started a stupid war based on lies that nearly bankrupted the country....but enriched his oil buddies.
The only good thing about that idiot from Texas....is that he took the republican party down with him..I think he (with a little help from Sarah Palin to be fair) showed the US once and for all just how stupid the republicans really are...
There is good and bad everywhere.
We have rednecks in Australia too you know!
I'm based in Canberra, Australia. With elections this September and a very likely change of government I don't think people are going to be too happy around here for much longer!
I'm pretty sure our likley new PM would get along great with the Bushes, and his rhetoric appeals to the rednecks.
Good thing I'll be back in HK by then, but I'll still make my vote count. I can't really complain if I don't make an effort and vote.
Have any of you heard this one:
Voting for the Liberal Party because you don't like the Labor Party is like eating sh*t because you don't like spinach.

Lol closedcasket totally nailed republicans...
I hear you ouwen, I know someone a udt and he kept all his guns locked out. Even his daughters never saw one...
If they are so happy... then why are they always whinging?
I just came back from Sydney and they seemed like a happy bunch to me. Quite a few people said to me that Aussies don't realise how good they've got it (relative to other countries).
Must admit that I'd move there in a heartbeat.
Bush junior is from Connecticut, educated at Yale. Can't believe I said "educated" in the same sentence with Bush junior. The West Texas ranch thing is political PR. You carry Texas, and getting elected to the presidency is a shoo in. No wealthy man would make his home in the West Texas desert without an ulterior motive.. Bush Senior is supposedly from Texas also, but lived in Maine.
If you want to talk about an asshole US president from Texas, then talk about Lyndon Johnson.
Haliburton, KBR and the oil buddies were enriched by Vice President Dick Cheney. The president is a PR front man elected by the sheep herd. The Vice President is hand picked by the Party and Washington insider power establishment.
You need to find a TV station that isn't owned by the US propaganda establishment.
Try Russia Today, or CCTV news.

We should all be naive and trusting of our fellow human. You get ripped off and disappointed often, but you also get rewarded enough to make up for it ten times over.
