I don't like my President being booed

[Robbien]

Don't get me wrong, it was great to hear about Bush being booed. I was there right by their sides in spirit.

But at the same time it makes me sad.

[sonicx]

1. i agree...

the solution: impeach * and get a real president.

[Nite Owl]

2. I know what you mean

Sort of the mirror of how Clinton was so loved, how they just wanted to touch him and see him. He made us proud unlike this jerk.

[baldguy]

3. Not my President. No problem.

[MsTryska]

45. damn straight. nt

[H2O Man]

67. Best answer. n/t

[derby378]

4. The solution is...

...next time, we actually elect someone President rather than letting some hayseed steal the office.

5. I understand the sentiment

I would be a lot more upset if Bush were my President.

[Danmel]

6. It would be nice to have a President who is admired in the world

Not detested. There was a time, not so long ago, when a visit by an American President brought out admiring crowds not riot police.

[TahitiNut]

54. It'd be nicer to be a NATION admired for removing such a 'pResident'

I'd like to be a nation admired much as the Italians were 'admired' in 1945 for their approach to "change of leadership" ...

[Biology]

7. its depressing...

but it isn't anyones fault but his own. They cheered Clinton on the streets.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Exactly

It's not our fault. We shouldn't feel ashamed really. On one hand I do because I miss feeling proud of my country and the leader of the country but Bush and his people brought this on themselves. They only have themselves to blame and it does bring me comfort to know not everybody in this world buys his bullshit.

[Catchawave]

8. You're right.

They boo my president, they boo my country and her citizens too :( Very sad indeed.

[The Gunslinger]

22. I didn't feel that

They didn't boo Clinton, They didn't shout "down with the USA and all her citizens". They bood Bush. He deserves it, and he's not my president.

[Catchawave]

34. I know they boo'ed Bush, I was responding to the

original message :)

Welcome to DU Gunslinger :hi:

[The Gunslinger]

39. thanks. nt

[Yupster]

69. I went to school in Austria

during the Iranian hostage crisis, ande the early Reagan presidency.

When the hostage crisis went on and on and then the disastrous rescue mission, I got so manyquestions from amazed Austriuans and Germans -- "how canb Carter just let this go on? Will he never do anything"

It bothered me, and whether I agreed with him or not, I defended him because he was the president and I didn't like foreignors criticizing him.

Then I saw it even worse with Reagan. The giant marches and the "Nuclear nein danke" pins. I think Reagan was hated every bit as much as Bush is over there. Anyway, I defended him too.

[Blue-Jay]

9. I'll keep booing "your" president.

He deserves it, and so does this thread.

[Robbien]

19. Sorry Blue-Jay, but I guess I am just mourning the loss of pride

in my country.

[liberaltrucker]

26. Right on

See post # 12.

[i miss america]

28. You are not alone.

[Cooley Hurd]

50. They booed the man, not the office...

...hence no boos directed at President Clinton.:thumbsup:

[Mz Pip]

65. That's how I feel.

I used to be proud when I traveled outside the US. I felt we were respected as a people and as a Nation.

Now our pRes gets booed. He deserves it and so do we as a nation for putting the idiot in the White House in the first place. And that makes me sad.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[PuraVidaDreamin]

10. Well, it is embarassing

to have fallen so far, so fast. But as most of us know here is that he really is not legitimately our president.

[B Calm]

11. It's sickening how Bush has disgraced the USA..

[liberaltrucker]

12. Me, too

We who really love our country are sad that this idiot holds the title of President. But as George Harrison said oh, so many years ago, all things must pass:patriot:

[LostInAnomie]

13. I wish Clinton would have walked out separately.

That way there would have been an obvious contrast between the jeering * received, and the adoration for Clinton.

[Placebo]

14. Meanwhile, Clinton gets mobbed & cheered in the streets of Rome.

What a contrast.

[paineinthearse]

15. * is NOT my President

I said to JFK in January "you're my President", he responded "thanks, pal".

[Swamp Rat]

31. Mine neither. He's the fucking anti-christ!

[senseandsensibility]

33. How cool!

Really?

[senseandsensibility]

16. I have no such feelings

After what this "man" has done to our country, I feel no tie to him whatsoever.

[flyingfysh]

17. There is an obvious solution

Get a different president.

[KlatooBNikto]

18. There is no need for them to show any respect to a man responsible for

a war of aggression,the torture of prisoners and continued defiance of international laws including the Geneva Convention.In short a war criminal.

[applegrove]

20. It has been sad for a long, long time. Only solution if we do not

want America to be diminished in the world permanently..is to get rid of the neocons.

[tedzbear]

21. Don't look at me. I didn't vote for him.

eom

[AlCzervik]

23. well we know at least 60 million "people: like him

too bad the other 6,000,000,000 hate his guts.

[Catchawave]

47. LOL....though the British tabloids did declare those 60 mil were

"stupid" :D

[saltpoint]

24. I'm ashamed my current president elicited boos but --

-- I feel he earned them.

I agree with you that it would be great to not have our president booed in other countries.

A President Kerry would not have received that response.

[kliljedahl]

25. That's OK

He's not my president. I just hate what he's done to the rest of us when we go overseas. Tarred with the same brush, as it were.

[Individualist]

27. The little tyrant is not my president n/t

[11 Bravo]

29. I don't like my President deserving to be booed.

But he surely does.

[aquart]

30. He stole it. This is what he gets.

And richly earned.

May he never sleep.

[Malikshah]

35. He's not a president in the true sense of the word

He's a criminal who does not represent the morality and abilities of the majority of this country.

He should be publically pilloried by all.

[manic expression]

36. Our President DESERVES to be booed

Period. It does not matter if he is the US President or Kim Jong-Il, if someone deserves to be booed, I am more than happy if they are treated the way they should be.

[Southsideirish]

37. Life is tough, isn't' it?

That man deserves everything he gets.

[UTUSN]

38. HaHa - Would We Had a Prez Worhy of Not Being Booed n/t

[mopaul]

40. here here

i'll take cheers anyday, or at least stuffy indifference, but booing is embarassing.

[Norbert]

41. He made his bed, let him lie in it.

[liberalitch]

42. While I feel sad...

the reason I feel sad is that I feel isolated.... Kinda dirty too.
Our reputation in the world has fallen SO far....
I want the world to see us the way they did after WW2....
(symbolized by the fact that this was the site chosen for the UN)

[Discord]

43. I stand up and applaud every time he gets what he deserves

and sadly, as a reflection of America, we get what we deserve.

Rigged or not, the people of the US voted this Chimp into office, and it was close enough that it COULD be rigged.

Sadly, we are getting what we deserve as a country, for not doing enough to stop this out of control, unacountable Administration.

[Octafish]

44. Bush deserves to be booed.

He's a crook.

[mattclearing]

46. He's your president? n/t

[lonestarnot]

48. "my President"...sorry I just can't hang with this rhetoric.

[RPM]

49. i wish the sheep at home would show some stones...

and do the same.

Yeah - i know, respect the office, not the man....

But the way that he has disrespected the office, country and constitution which he swore on his holy storybook to protect - all bets are off; i will boo and boo loudly.

[ikojo]

51. My president wasn't booed.

George W Bush was booed and if I was there I'd have had the loudest boo.

He has not earned respect so none is due him. I accord him the same respect that Rush Limbaugh and his ilk accorded Clinton from 1993 to the present day.

[all.of.me]

52. it's more embarrassing than sad

[denese]

53. wouldn't want my President getting booed either

However, the shrub is not now, nor has he ever been (or ever will be) my President.
He is a a liar and a criminal.
To the people of the world:Boo away!

[Art_from_Ark]

55. Yeah, he makes Nixon look like an altar boy

[Heidi]

56. I guess I'm used to it. (eom)

[DistressedAmerican]

57. I LOVE IT If They Can Distinguish Between Him And Us. I Fear They Don't.

[Lorien]

58. Bush* = America..No, I don't buy that one!

It's the other side that says "why do you hate America"? whenever one of us is critical of BushCo. No one said that about the Freeps when they were bashing Clinton. The Freeps would have LOVED IT if Clinton were booed overseas during his presidency!

[teamster633]

60. And the freepers look at the fact that Clinton is loved and...

...respected around the world as proof that the whole world is wrong, not them.

[ldf]

59. it's the same concept of

i really don't like to see the american flag burned. and it really irks me when it is done by others in foreign countries.

but i will fight for the right TO burn it. sometimes we are so dispicable as a nation that burning the symbol is the only thing that can be done.

it is sad that our leader is being booed. but i would be assisting them with all my lung capacity, if i were there with them.

[leesa]

61. He deserves it. Don't take it personally.

[Ironpost]

62. I wouldn't like my president being booed, but I like this

imposter being booed.

[Solly Mack]

63. I don't have a President so I enjoyed it greatly when Shrub was

rightfully. deservingly.appropriately.Booooooooooooooo'ed.

[robertarctor]

64. If we're not free to boo Herr Jethro Mussolini in this country

... at least we can appreciate it when others have the good sense to disrespect his fascist ass abroad, don't you think?

[bling bling]

66. People world-wide hate his guts.

I can barely stomach listening to him talk.

The fact that just the sight of his face elicited boos from the crowd shows you how vulgar and vile he is to people.

I was stunned, absolutely flaborghasted when the Emporor in Chimp was re-elected. I was disappointed in America. We did the wrong thing. Booo to Bush and booo to America. We deserve to hear it for the next four years.

I don't like it either, though.

[deadparrot]

68. I want Bush booed.

And I'm glad they did it. If Americans don't have the balls to do it, then I'm glad some people do.

But, in theory, no. I don't want my country so universally despised by the rest of the world that they feel the need to voice their disapproval at a funeral. His policies have angered something like 80+% of the world's population. I hate when America uses its power to be a bully and a policeman. But if that's what we're going to do, then ** should expect anger.

:(

[Catchawave]

71. Exactly, we do want him humiliated, but I think it was the OP's

intention to convey the sadness that our leader/our country has no respect in the world. This thread has nothing to do with *, and everything to do with grieving over what the American Presidency, the position, should represent.

Hope that made sense :)

[Straight Shooter]

70. Well, he brought it on.

Self-righteous, pompous little prick that he is.

[Lilith Velkor]

72. Fuck him right in the ear.

I got over the nationalism thing a long time ago, but I do sympathize with you. :hug:
