The same can be said for nearly ever president elected in the last 60 years. And probably all of Japan's president's too. Or just politician's as a whole, all across the world.

Good thing Japan doesn't have presidents:p

Well in general Americans aren't very smart, very nice, nor community-minded.

They live like islands.

People who make generalizations are dumb ;)


We have the #1 economy and military because we are a bunch of dumb, mean, isolationists?

Must be getting near time for the US to open another can of wupass. You'd think they'd have learned from the first two.

Which country has nukes? Which country has been nuked? We're done here. :awe:

Go to P&N and then tell me your opinion of Americans :p

I don't know what Japanese are compared to Americans, but sometimes I feel that I need to take and anti-dumb pill after dealing with the public :D

George Bush basically invalidates any of that. I mean, we really don't have much to stand on when the question is "which country elected George Bush". Oh shit.

You mean a country that had a good economy for 7 of his 8 years, while the guy in the White House has what? oh wait.

It's like that in any country. No one holds the keys to the "Country of dumb shits" club. They're everywhere.

Holy shit, you sound serious.

Yeah, if McCain had been elected and was the current sitting president but everything else had happened exactly the same, you can bet the Republicans would still be blaming the economic downturn on Clinton.

In reality the president doesn't have nearly as much to do with the economy as everyone seems to think. And it's not all one president or another. But try telling that to someone who is firmly entrenched with one party or another.

Exactly. People seem to fail to realize that both sides suck, both sides are terrible and anybody who is vehemently one or the other represents the problem with this country

After having elected Bush for two terms, who the FVCK could possibly argue with that other than simple-minded defensive americans.

What's worse?

Japanese Lawmaker calling Americans stupid in Japanese Parliament.

OR

American Lawmaker calling American President a liar, in Congress, while the president is giving a speech?
