The world hates U. S.! Um, not quite

Leaders from around the world swung by the Oval Office for a final bilateral meeting with President George W. Bush last fall. Foreign relations practices of the past eight years are being framed by Democrats in a way that would make it is easy to assume each leader was really saying "good riddance" under their breath.

The real story is much different than the current talking points. Let's take a look at the tape.

Following a bilateral meeting, President Ivan Gasparovic of the Slovak Republic said relations between our two countries were at "our highest point."

President John Kufuor of Ghana remarked that "under our watch this relationship has been taken even higher." Panama's President Martin Torrijos commented that bilateral relations "have grown stronger," Kuwait's prime minister said, "Everything is moving very, very well between the two countries," and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India offered, "In these last four and a half years, there has been a massive transformation of the India-United States relationship."

Sure sounds like they hate us. They really hate us.

The popular myth perpetuated by those on the Democratic side of the political spectrum is that for the eight years preceding Jan. 20, 2009, the entire world hated the United States. On that day, the sneers of citizens from the other 190-plus countries on this planet turned to collective cheers. A new dawn of international relations was upon us.

I don't profess to be an expert in international affairs, but I can speak to what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears during trips to 23 nations and attendance at presidential meetings with world leaders over the past three and a half years.

It was commonplace to witness thousands of locals as they lined the streets, waving Americans flags, just to see a motorcade drive by. Overflow crowds gathered in the main squares of foreign capitals to see the U. S. president speak -- just as they have for his predecessors and just as they will for his successors.

Never in these instances did anyone say a derogatory word (and this would have been the perfect chance) or say anything that would confirm the suspicions of today's Democrats. Spitting at us and screaming unprintable phrases of disgust would have been expected if you listen to the other side. The wonderful people of these countries would smile, say hello and sometimes even ask for a picture or a souvenir to show their family.

Are there some strained relations? Of course. But do we really care what Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro have to say? Really? Chavez called President Bush "the Devil" and President Barack Obama an "ignoramus" but now he wants to be BFF with us and pose for pictures to increase his popularity. How quaint.

The campfire tales being spun of renewed international relations are an interesting story, but one that is far from accurate. Respect for the United States was common before Bush's term, during his time in office, and still is today. That has not changed.

Great Job!  Now will u dig around and give us some info on NoBama’s REAL Birth Certificate?  Did Pres Bush ever see his REAL B.C.????  I loved G.W., i voted for him as Governor of Texas twice, and i voted both times for him as Pres.  He deserved it, he protected me for 7.5 years, he cut taxes, increased my personal income, took care of the veterans and active duty military !!! etc.  He did start spending a bit too much at the end, BUT, not nearly as radical and fascist spending as Nobama is now doing.  Tripling the debt, Quadrupling the deficit.. what part of cutting those in half doesn’t compute??  that was Nobama’s promise, as well as no new taxes for anyone middle-class— yeah right, well i make just under 15K a year as a disabled veteran and i smoke, occasionally take a drink.  Now my smokes have been taxed a full DOLLAR A PACK!, if i want a beer that has been taxed 600% since Nobama took office.  I AM MAD DAMMIT!  Even though i didn’t vote for that fraud who is not even a natural-born American, but he is there and he’s trying to turn this great country into a socialist Marxist communist country!!!!!!  I’m not going to stand for it!!!  He MUST show his B.C. and PROVE he is NATURAL BORN, but he WON’T do it!! WHY? WHAT THE HELL IS HE HIDING? IS HE HIDING ALL HIS RECORDS BECAUSE THEY WILL PROVE HE IS NOT A NATURAL-BORN AMERICAN?  YES, I THINK SO.  HIM, BIDEN, PELOSI AND MOST OF THE CONGRESS AND HOUSE OF REPS SHOULD BE EVICTED FROM D.C. AND GIVEN NO BENEFITS OF ANY KIND!

WE NEED A NEW ELECTION AS THE CONSTITUTION DICTATES, WITHIN 120 DAYS OF THE FRAUD AND HIS ILK BEING ARRESTED AND JAILED.  AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS, I WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT.  I CAN PROVE I’M NATURAL BORN AND I CAN RUN THIS COUNTRY BETTER THAN THE MORONIC IDIOTS IN THERE NOW!! 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. OK, I've blown off some more steam. thanks for watching. God Bless and take care.  Defend the U.S.Constitution!!
