American Wonder

I'm sure, some Americans that realize that America isn't the only place on Earth sometimes wonder why majority of the world hates us. Well, given my current place of employment, I've been blessed with the chance to ask (mainly Australians, English, and New Zeland..ers) what they hate us (as a whole, not as an individual). Of course there's man answers, however, the most common one is politics.

Let's start it up with more recent stuff. Now, of course when Obama was elected, the worlds approval rating of America went up, drastically. And if you're wondering, they're image of us was ruined by Bush. But, never-the-less, they loved us when we voted us in. The world LOVES Obama. Every country around the world backs Obama to the fullest. Why do you think he's doing so good with Foreign Affairs? Now, here's why the world hates us......ready........we dislike Obama (as a whole, not individually). But why? The main reason is, all the people that said they had his back, all the people that said he was our savior, all the people that said they'd do everything in their power to help Obama succeed, all the people that said "for this country to work, we need to operate as ONE not multiple parties", all the people that agreed it was time for a change (and had the power to help) ALL TURNED THEIR BACKS ON HIM!!!!! In other words, it's because he's black. That's right, I just basically called our government (or at least people with power) racist. However, given that majority of people don't watch the news or follow politics, they don't realize that this is going on, in our faces. To them, all that's happening is that "change" isn't happening fast enough in a world that's so accustomed to instant gratification. So to us Americans (as a whole) he's failing in our eyes. Which isn't the case, he's doing all he can. Don't forget about all the problems he inherited. But instead of all this, our approval rating of him falls, instead of us going to the government and pleading for them to help Obama help us. Why is it that people in other countries realize this, yet people in his own country show him NO love!? I wish I knew.

Another reason why other countries hate us is......we voted in Bush....... twice.
So, basically, they all think we're idiot cowboys that think we know everything when we actually know nothing.

divided we stand

Now.......I'm sure we all realize the difference of republicans and democrats. But, why is it that.....when one person from another party is tryin to make change (ie Obama), the otherside needs to go above and beyond and disagree. There's no hiding the fact that things aren't good right now. It's a well documented fact. What that means to me is, now isn't the time for people to be arguin over crap and goin against the grain. If somebody is tryin to do things for the greater good, then get behind that person and help them. Especially.....especially if you don't have any damn ideas yourself. This gives me a reason to dislike those rich republicans lol. I mean, sure Obama wants to spend money, but it's for US. All the spending is for US to get money to spend and stimulate the economy, so to speak. But, who get's a higher taxes? People who make over $250,000 a year. Guess what most of those heartless republicans make, over that. If I was them would I be happy. God no. But i'd know this has to happen for the greater good of the country. And I sure as hell wouldn't talk trash about the man on national tv. If they asked me what I thought about the whole thing i'd say, "it's not about me, it's about what needs to be done". Like Obama or not, we as people need to support him and let the man do his work..........unless somebody has a better idea.....and no it's not tax cuts.
