A Super Power has a much larger responsibility to up-hold within' its country and tha world. Tha world expects alot from a super power, and when we make decisions about what we intend on doing. Tha world gets all pee-pee hearted about shit. Tha last time France said a country posed no threat, tha Germans were marching through Paris with there nazi flags held high. Tha world was pissed at us for not entering World War II early in tha begining. Now we are preventing shit, and tha world still get's pissed. Make ya fuckin' minds up!... You want tha U.S. to do this and that, but then we do this and that, and it's wrong. STFU!!......
Stand aside and let us do what WE are good at. Correcting tha fucked up world, when we should be helping ourselves, and forget about how FUCKED up everyone else is. Not our problem!..

"Simple rhetoric is what appeals to the US people in general - it has been the case for many years (Clinton, Bush Senior....and that other guy before him, forgot his name now....and so on, so forth...)..."
^^Yet tha rest of tha world is learning english, and becoming more like us...^^
"Still, i don't think he should be president...he isn't dumb. But he isn't too clever either. Too ignorant about certain things, methinks he relies too much on his staff (like Powell, Rumsfeld and all the rest)..."
^^that's how shit works. His staff takes care of alot of shit, cause we got alot of shit to take care of.^^
"And his knowledge of things outside the US is limited to say the least. For a man who is in charge of the most powerful nation on earth, that's worrying..."
^^He's not in charge of shit... He acts only as a voice of tha U.S. people as a majority. nothing happends, unless permission is granted through congress.^^
Tha Marines can act on there own though. No permission from tha people needed. They are an amphibious ready group that can attack and leave at any time, no-body can say shit about it...
-Navy Seals
-Marine Force Recon.
-Green Barets
-Delta Force
^^All Amphibious ready groups that are mission capable^^
peace....

I aint putting down the USA on the whole. But it's true, simple rhetoric is what appeals to the American population. And that usually is a good thing, sometimes i think Tony Blair is too complicated in his speeches, which then seems to exclude the 'less learned'...
I don't know what you mean by "yet the rest of the world is learning English, and becoming like us..."...like who? US? I'm aware people are learning English all over the world. It's the international language. And the US has played a big part in spreading it over the past 40 years or so with corporate globalisation n what not (especially over the last decade though)...but then the British Empire was the catalyst, they are the ones who implanted the language all over the world (all four corners, if you would)...but that's a different story...
And i know Presidents are supposed to rely on their staff. But as i said, it seems to me he relies a bit TOO MUCH on his staff on certain matters a president should know about...it impairs his ability to make judgment calls...but that's just what it seems, and my opinion, i don't know too many exacts in that situation...
..once again, i don't think Bush Junior is dumb, he's a fairly level headed Republican...but as said before, lacks in certain departments of knowledge (and possibly intelligence) that you'd expect from the leader of the most powerful nation on earth (well actually, what you'd expect from a leader of any well developed, strong miliatairy and economic nations e.g. UK, France, Germany..Japan..etc...)....
"He's not in charge of shit... He acts only as a voice of tha U.S. people as a majority. nothing happends, unless permission is granted through congress".
Unto the next part^^^ - The Republican party has such a strong foothold in the Congress, that it aint even funny. Don't you remember last year? The elections were a white wash for the Republicans...
...and to say he aint charge of shit is kind of ignorant. He's in charge of a lot, and can work the system (to an extent) to his (and his administration's) advantage. The President of the USA has a lot of power, especially when the congress is over flowing with Republicans, disrupting the balance to the extent that it stretches democracy to right to it's 'boundaries'.
Oh yeah, and that stuff you said at the start aint worth commenting on, man, ignorance is what it is. I mean damn, you got to accept people challenging the US...once more, it's democratic. And the WWII, saving the world thing....well, i'll leave it at that...
