How do you know so much about that poster? I wasn't aware of his ethnicity or profession & work ethic, and it doesn't say anything in the profile either... weird.

Bush wasn't hated in Australia. Besides for some extremists (Bob Brown an co.), both sides of Australian politics generally supported Bush on his policies which directly affected us.

The US president is generally viewed in a neutral manner in Australia -- we really don't care all that much about him. For example, when Obama came here recently, I think the US secret services were expecting a crowd of people to go see him so they set up big barriers, and literally a handful of people turned up.

The occupy crowd probably received the most criticism here due to it sort of taking place in Sydney, but the tea party, Democrats and Republicans rarely make the news, nor do most people really care much about them.

If there was an option for "the US government as a whole", that would be the one I'd choose. Regardless of who is in power, they also seem to f*ck stuff up, blame it on the former president then continue to f*ck some more stuff up. That in itself is extremely embarrassing.

On an unrelated note; MSNBC is about as bipartisan as Fox. If you watch/read either, chances are you're an idiot.

To the politically informed, the Tea Party is probably more embarrassing. They make George Bush look intelligent and reasonable.

The lazy, entitled Occupy whiners who waste their time trashing parks are certainly an embarrassment, but their complete lack of power (compared to the Tea Party, which managed to get a bunch of people elected, resulting in a nonstop display of breathtaking idiocy in congress) keeps them from rising to the level of most embarrassing.
Funny how you totally ignored that the occufart movement was created by democrats in response to the TEA party.

Well, with Obama, Carter has become irrelevant.

I said what full scale invasion/occupation? You're obviously unaware of what that actually entails.

Want to guess again?
