I totally agree with this.
As a "damned foreigner" I can atest to the overall general dis-like of George W Bush by 85% of my countrymen (Recent McLean's magazine article). And that is putting it mildly. Everyone hopes he looses. (It's funny cause everyone i know pretty much thought Clinton was a pretty good guy. So, it's not an American thing, it's a Bush thing.)
Never has a US president faired so poorly in any Canadian popular opinion poll. Never. Now i know some of you are saying, "Well who gives a fuck what Canada or any other country thinks of Bush" Well, it does matter believe it or not, and since the USA is so important in the world, it has an impact on other countries.
You have to ask yourself why an American president would be so completely dispised all over the world? There must be something there.
