Bush is the most hated president in US history

According to various surveys and interviews conducted in 20 countries, from Canada to Mexico, from London to Paris, from Jakarta to Beijing, President Bush is extremely unpopular as a presidential candidate.

Senator John Kerry looks like an unconditional favorite abroad, and this despite the fact that few people outside the United States know anything about this representative of the Democrats Party from Massachusetts and his position on international policy issues, writes The Washington Post .

“If foreigners could vote, the result would be undoubted,” said Guillaume Parrantier, director of the French center in the USA. “The image of Bush, even before the war in Iraq, was not too good. The way he keeps himself, the dictionary that he uses is good and evil, the Lord God that he uses, for most people, look like the wrong for the president.” He adds to the said: "I have never observed such hostility."

Foreign fans of Kerry say that they like in him how he turns to the Allies for advice and listens to their opinion. He seems to them a cosmopolitan because he is married to a woman born in Africa. He studied in Geneva and speaks well in French.

Bush enjoys support in countries such as Israel and Singapore for his dislike for radical Islamic groups, as well as in countries that win from international trade, such as India, for his commitment to a free market. However, most hope for his defeat.

In the Arab world, Bush is hated for starting a war in Iraq, for supporting Israel and provides assistance to corrupt Arab governments in exchange for mutual services in the region.

A public opinion survey conducted in July by the Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail showed that Canadians are sixty against 29% prefer Kerry.

In Russia, according to the survey, the ratio of the votes of Kerry and Bush supporters is determined almost as four to one, however, President Vladimir Putin told reporters that among Bush’s supporters there are “some very influential people”, obviously referring to himself.

Deep antipathy caused by Bush in the world gave rise to a huge number of relevant journal covers, books, television units - foreign observers say that even President Reagan in 1980 did not cause such a strong reaction.

On the cover of the German magazine, Stern flaunts the statement: "George Bush - moral bankrupt." In France, the Nouvelle Observateur magazine was published with the main article, entitled: "Why is it necessary to beat Bush."

In Canada, hostility reached such a force that the Canadian BroadCasting Corp. This month I released the program "Is Bush bezing too far?" But in France, the whole section of the popular Sunday television program is entirely devoted to Bush’s beating - there the Americans are invited to explain to the French why they hate Bush and are going to vote against him.

At times, even usually cautious in choosing words, diplomats fall under such moods. The Canadian politician called Bush "Kretin." The British ambassador to Italy Ivor Roberts, as Corriere Della Sera writes, said during a conference in Tuscan that Bush is the "best recruiter of al -Qaeda" , which can only be represented. " And Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Sapatero soon after his victory in the elections in March expressed the hope that the Americans would follow the example of the Spanish people and replace the current president in the elections in November.
