I wonder why he's seen so differently in your country than outside it. I obviously don't know how your media deals with him and I can't really give you anything except opinion because he's not my leader and I live in a different country.
I will say, though, that when he's been on European soil, he's been quite aggressive about getting the best deal for America. He's been polite about it too, but nonetheless aggressive. This isn't a criticism. I wish our leaders were more like that and got better deals for us.
Bush, on the other hand, completely undermined the U.S. as a country. By choosing him as a figurehead, the rest of the world thought America had taken leave of its senses. And I actually quite like George Bush as a person. He does have qualities worth having. But as a person. Not as a person with any kind of responsibility.
In terms of intelligence, I couldn't even begin to compare the two. I'd certainly challenge anyone saying Obama is unintelligent.
Because sometimes it takes a little effort to find the truth and the extreme right in this country combined with billions of dollars are glad to make the job harder. Its easier for people to let others do their intellectual heavy lifting and accept & repeat the mantra "Obama bad."
Like the billions of dollars the unions pour into Democratic funds? Or...like the billions of dollars GM and Chrysler blew and paid partial back "look that's paid off!"
Or...do you mean the billions in kickbacks and insentives GE gets? Wait! GE is a big corporation...Obama can't be in bed with them!
Buffet and Soros don't support him either. They're evil billionaires. Wait..the Buffet rule says he needs to pay his fair share! Maybe instead of paying his team of corporate lawyers to fight what Berkshire pays while he tells the rest of us "shame! shame!" he could...just pay "his fair share?"
If you honestly believe that the AFL/CIO, UAW, or any other massive conglomerate of mob bosses is "a collection of blue collar workers," incapable of coming up with as much cash as the wealthy...then you are quite simply...gullible.
Telling everyone else to "pay their fair share," while expending every available rescource to avoid doing so oneself...is the epitome of hypocracy. Simply saying it's not...proves that you are either blind, irrational, or both; rendering this entire debate usless.
The country is becoming more & more influenced by international investors, less by the average citizen. But heaven forbid you try to restrict such things, well then, you're branded as un-American and against freedom.
IIN to think Obama...Evil??

A collection of blue collar union workers can't come up with the same amount of cash as a collection of millionaires and billionaires.
The Buffet rule is not law. Also contesting the IRS and their figures doesn't make him guilty of anything.

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge, I'm certain you must find it very taxing.
I have to say, that's the way it looks to me too. I'd find it exceedingly frustrating if I lived there.
