In France, we have a great issue with Bush. Another one !

[BonjourUSA]

He will come here for the 60th anniversary of the D-Day. We're going to receive the representative of the USA. But he's the heir of this Republican right-wing which called Roosevelt : "anti-American". These Republicans thought that his commitment beside the resistances in European countries including christian-democrates, but socialists and communists too, his feeling of the nazism as total hell were "treason".

We're going to welcome this man for the celebration of America we love and which has been rejected by his predecessors. The representative of those which ridicule each day the values for which the GIs fell on our beaches.

A recent French poll is absolutely terrible :

Do you approve of the Bush's coming ? Yes : 45%, No: 45%. In a normal time, with a normal US president, this poll should be Yes: 90%, No : 10% (or less, we can never avoid a light anti-Americanism feeling in any circumstances ;-) )

4. kinda ironically funny in that hitler held the oplympics

the universe is power full in its message to us. it can be so clear and vivid and a sense of humor. isnt all this interesting. and so full of gabs and realities. like his convention in new york city in sept.

it doesnt get any easier

prescott the grand daddy's role during war world II just might be brought up. just this weekend told son who watched the special on prince something town for years taking out public school and creating private for white population and the black were without the school.

yesterday told son bush wont be without money or lacking in anyway. all the stealing of the last 3 years he is well off. further you know where they made there money. i tell him grandpa bush was making money of the holocaust. giving him time to sit with that one.

5. I apologize in advance for the buffoon

some people mistakenly believe is the U.S. president.

I'm sure he will be insulting, condescending, boorish, and oh so "cute".

It will be nice to have him gone from our shores for a bit, but the embarrassment of his conduct will not be worth the price of the short reprieve we will get from his absence.

I hope your countrymen will protest him roundly.

6. high five i say......france go at it

he is all yours. a giggle and laugh all the way thru. emperor with no close. look how silly he looks in such nakedness. he is going to be so uncomfortable, he will be pumping the chest big time

[supernova]

8. Yes, France do go at W while you have the chance

Please do protest, shout, and scream at that idiot. He deserves it.

It is my sincere hope the US, France, and the rest of the world will only have to put up with him for a few more months.
