When Bill Clinton visited a foreign country and the multitudes were embracing him always with respect and glee.
When he stood in Ireland and was everything but adopted as a son of the Irish. Same with the French, German, Italians and even in Russia.
Watching TV today I am reminded of when Richard Nixon's motorcade was egged and attacked. Let's face it...I'm not a very proud citizen of this fantastic country. Because my country has been hi-jacked by an idiot and all the republicans are either too stupid or too proud to admit that their little boy puppet experiment didn't work very well in diplomatic aspects nor has it any real meat with the American public.
We are in a never ending war. We have the highest debt ever and growing. We have crooks and liars in every nook and crany of the White House, Congress and GOP spots in many States.
And what do these folks do...they re-word anything bad so it tries to sound good and positive. They continue to push the war in Iraq as a war on Terrorism.
They pass legisaltion to gut some of the most favorable and cherished social programs...IE: Student Loans,Food Stamps, Medicare and even their ballyhooed Prescription Drug program is already being whittled before it's even fully launched.
Every single poll in our country says over 60% have had it on most questions about Bush.
I am watching Republicans holding their heads very low and saying stupid things that resemble talking points but not being forceably sold as they once were.
None of us are very proud when we see the people of the world cussing our supposed leader. Democrats understand them while republicans call them names because I don't think or know if a republican has the ability to understand just what is taking place.
But we know.......America has and is losing respect and the ability to even influence policies around the world because our leadership has lost all resemblence of trust.
