Bush Liked Less Than Saddam, Bin Laden

[stevedeshazer]

President Bush is disliked by more Hungarian secondary school children than former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, according to an opinion poll published on Wednesday.

Bush also topped the list of most-liked foreigners with eight percent of the vote, ahead of Pope John Paul with six percent.

The survey of 34,000 students, aged 16-18, from 655 high schools showed Adolf Hitler was the most disliked foreign personality with 25 percent of the vote, followed by Bush with 23 percent and Bin Laden with 16 percent.

Bush was even more unpopular than former Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, according to the poll.

1. Right up there with Hitler, eh?

How appropriate.

[Beetwasher]

2. LOL!!!!

Most hated man on the planet and second only to Hitler in all of recorded history! OBL, eat your heart out!

[tnlefty]

3. Feelin' the love yet Georgie*?

I don't like you either.

[stevedeshazer]

4. It should make us really proud to be Americans

[daleo]

5. But seldom is it asked, is their children learning?

Sounds like they might be.

6. Bush is the most hated man in the world, bar none....

he has accomplished one of his goals, he IS a uniter in ways even I would not have suspected!

80% of Canadians dispise him, and that is from an old poll, probably higher now.

BTW, I have to thank bush and his cabal! Because of most Canadians' feelings for bush, we Liberals/NDP were able to keep our version of repubs out of power!

7. Your election gives me hope

Thanks.

[Generator]

26. That's great about Canada!

I was just thinking that to these kids minds, Shrubie is much more dangerous to their current world than anyone else. I get it, they get it, we all get it.

I was thinking today if * gets elected this time, I will have to abandon any faith I have in the American people. It just doesn't seem possible that any majority could be that ignorant, deluded or mean. I know it's not easy, I know 9/11 scared and wounded us all, I know the media lies daily, but we still have free presses, there is a movie in the theatres, the facts are all out there.

You have to be responsible for your own fate. Somebody allowed Hitler and Stalin to power. It didn't just happen out of thin air.

8. I am so ashamed of our president. n/t

[Brucey]

9. He's number 1!

In absolute numbers, more people despise the Shrub than any other person in history. His only accomplishment is knocking Nixon off the top of the list as worst President in US history.

[Poiuyt]

10. Hey, let's cut Bush some slack!

After all, he's not as bad as Hitler.

[Spazito]

11. LOL, I would add "yet"!

If he and his henchmen are given a second term, I think he might just manage equality with him. His actions in Iraq are a forewarning, imo.

12. anybody else notice the tilt of reuters ever since that reporter incident?

it appears reuters has become unafraid of bu$hco intimidation tactics. to which i say CONGRATS!

[Dhalgren]

16. You have to be more specific;

which "reporter incident"? There have been so many. ;-)

[jdj]

30. This is tilted so far it's horizontal.

Because it's a damn misleading headline. Hungarian secondary school children? Oh. I have to chuckle at this though. I guess Reuters finally got tired of having their reporters and cameramen slaughtered. Nice to have someone spinning FOR us for a change.

[hughee99]

13. Too bad

* isn't running for class president of a Hungarian secondary school.

[stevedeshazer]

14. They're just Commies anyway

Right?

[hughee99]

17. Huh?

If he were president of a Hungarian secondary school, it would at least limit the damage he could do, and besides, according to this article he would have lost that election too.

Where were you going with your "commies" comment?

[hughee99]

18. Ah, I get it

I'm a freeper... very clever. (this time the sarcasm is on, unlike my first comment)

[stevedeshazer]

20. Didn't say you were

Didn't mean to imply it.

No sarcasm.

[stevedeshazer]

19. It's how the right will dismiss the story n/t

[hughee99]

21. Okay

I apologize for saying that you implied I was a freeper. I just misunderstood. I agree with the spin but this probably won't get too much play from the "liberal" media (sarcasm definately on for the "liberal" comment).

[stevedeshazer]

23. Me too

After rereading my post, I can see where one might think that. :)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

25. He's not even qualified for that post. ;-) n/t

[Mz Pip]

15. It's really ironic

when Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Ladin are thought of more highly than the "Leader of the Free World."

Bush did this to himself.

22. .

Let's not compare Bush to Hitler. Hitler was a decorated war hero.

-Bill Maher

[D-Notice]

24. Also

Hitler won an election...

[AlFrankenFan]

27. Smart kids n/t

[stevedeshazer]

28. I'd like to know more about their school system

It's not working here, that's for sure.

[louis c]

29. You think Bush can catch Hitler

if there's a recount, and we let his brother count the votes?

[jdj]

31. If they pull that jive this time, he will have definitely caught

Hitler by his next term.
