Re: Bush the most unpopular president on record

I see; OK maybe this helps.

My country is where I live, my land, my motherland, my pride.

The inhabitants are part of a collective family one way or another. When there is a natural disaster we all pitch in,
when we are called to be inconvenienced at domestic airports because of terrorists, we comply sometimes grudgingly, but we do.

Our President is not only one of the inhabitants but the Commander in Chief! The Big Kahuna , The MAN!
This is regardless of policies, actions, words, etc .

It might seem I am overreacting, but having lived abroad and branded as a stupid, ignorant,
unsophisticated and ungraceful American ( never mind I hold a degree Physics and have a Masters in Fine Arts) left its mark.
I also kindly received house-guests from other countries who did nothing more than bash President Bush
DURING THEIR WHOLE STAY, morning, evening and night, I can't really stay quiet anymore.

You see, if someone bashes my president, they unintentionally ( or not) bash my land,
and because I have this sense of pride for my country , as many Americans have, it touches me.

So is Bush the best? Certainly not. Is he the worst and worth of the title of most unpopular on record?
I doubt it. But the title sells worldwide and CNN needs the money and the ratings.

I believe NIXON was the most unpopular in modern history;
if you guys recall, Dick was booted out of the office and coined the phrase " I am not a Crook".

Oh and just for the record: no I'm not a Bush lover, but I'm not a Bush hater.
He is the one in the Oval Office at the moment who inherited a mess;
and the next president will have the same predicament.
