Dick Cheney's pissed you've reveal his secret identity! I advise a bulletproof face-mask. :laugh:

Well I don't know much about US politics so my opinion probably counts for jack shit. But it seems to me that if Bush hadn't become one of the presidents with the worst approval ratings in history, and if McCain hadn't made such an arse of himself during the campaign, maybe Obama or a Democrat wouldn't have been elected. Ya gotta take your licks I reckon. The American people spoke via the electoral process. If Obama fails, then punish him and grind him into the dirt. But shouldn't people at least give him a go to see if his way works? That's what confuses me about politics in this country.

I think many Americans need to realize just how much he is improving your over-seas image.

You might not think that is important, but it is.

Besides, give the guy a chance to clear out the cobwebs and corrupt officials.

Re: Guess What? He's a Terrible President
 

You have some valid points, however, from your point of view, they might carry a different scene than from here.

The problem with our overseas imagine is the more "he improves" it, the more we look like Europe and *NOT* America. If we wanted an EU footprint, then that is where we should expect to find it, not here.

Bureaucrats! Look at the profiles of the politicians (crooks) he has assigned to his cabinet.

What part of Denmark do you hail from?
I have visited Odense and that immediate area. Thou it has been several years, I recall some very interesting historic sites, and of all things, the bicycle ride to the zoo!

EU do many things better than America, we should copy them. Also, the reason why terrorists want to attack America just for the sake of attacking it, is largely based on public image. Improving your image around the world can only help. Then we can truly say "He kept us safe".

Re: Guess What? He's a Terrible President
 

I challenge you to name three things the EU does better than America!

Re: Guess What? He's a Terrible President
 

Bunching the EU together as "one state" is very wrong. There are vast differences.

But sure, I'll bite;

Based on Denmark;

Public Healthcare
Consumer Security
Social Welfare for any and all, no-one is homeless unless it's by choice. (Yes, really.)
Better public transportation options
We don't have your propaganda during election time
Guns aren't as big of a problem, due to very low availability. They have become an increasing problem in more recent years, particularly due to refugees from Iraq and Afghanistan.
We don't have the whole "two party political system", our current government is made up of two parties and a support party. This gives us greater political variety, and prevents right/left wing nuts from gaining solitary control and thus preventing massive change after each election. Things do change, but at a much slower pace. (Which is good, in my opinion.)
We have more government oversight of private business.
Hospital care is free for everyone, you get what you need.
You get money "State Educational Support" when you attend higher educational institutions - to ensure that most people have a higher education (Business school, technical school etc.) or College education.

There's probably more, that's just on top of my head.

To answer your question about my location; I'm currently in Kolding in Jutland, pretty close to Odense (Birth place of H.C Andersen) and I'm likely to move to Copenhagen in the near future.

Re: Guess What? He's a Terrible President
 

Healthcare, Religion, Guns.

Re: Guess What? He's a Terrible President
 

Wow, me and Froberg posted at the same time, yet he mentioned almost the same things I did, and then some.

Re: Guess What? He's a Terrible President
 

Great minds and all that jazz I guess ;)
