For Americans: Does it embarrass you that George Bush is President?

[fyodor]

Bush is a politician. Politicians no matter what their party, country or political system, all focus on one primary objecive: getting in power and staying there. Nothing else matters to 99.99% of the people who want to run the lives of other people.

Anyone who becomes the President of the USA will have cut so many deals along the way that he (she) is bound to be a corrupt blight. Is Bush a bigger blight than normal or just a more obvious one? Is he less adept at hiding the warts or does he just not give a [censored] because there's nothing you can do about it?

I would be no more embarrassed at having George Bush as the President were I an American than I am at having as our Prime Minister the faceless moron who presently fills that rank.
