To the American people please forgive me for my ignorance but...

I don't understand how your government works.  Why did you elect a man with an IQ of 70 into office not once but twice?  Yet you complain about him.

Who is truly in control of America?

I find it odd about American system, so please pardon my ignorance. 

Why not get a king or queen to run the country?

I can't tell if your being bitter or not ?

Is this your idea of a clever attempt at trolling?

Ah-haha. The sarcasm is strong here.

No serious question. 

I want to know what my fellow Americans think about who really runs our country. 

Also everyone has to admit Bush wasn't the brightest bulb and we DID elect him twice.

Ha ha.  You tickled my funny bone.

I will refuse to vote at the next British election. I want to bring the voting turnout figures down to prove my point of indifference towards whichever British government gets elected.

I appreciate that I lose my right to complain by doing this. I also appreciate that my indifference will only skew figures minutely, but that's enough for me.

Americans care about politics too much. I love the "well they're all going to fuck up" mentality we have here in the UK. Well certainly it's an attitude I endorse.

This really is a subtle attempt at being funny and/or trolling.

but yet you have nothing to say about the pretty boy moron we have in office now?

Banks own the health care systems and the people running the banks bribed practically everyone in the white house (when Bush was in) to keep quite. - According to Sicko, by Michael Moore

And dude/ettes your health system is one of the most surprisingly bullshit systems ever.
I think that every country needs to follow Cuba's example when it comes to health care. They got it perfect. Even us brits suffer from the health care system but at least the hospitals don't suck us for each penny we own.
And also I heard that the fire-fighters that helped out at 9/11, were given free treatment if any post effects from it happened. And when a guy when to get the free treatment for his lungs (because all the dust and tiny stones that he breathed in), he found out that the free treatment would only be given when he is terminally ill!
So basically he only gets it when there's no way for him to live... so he and loads of other people went to Cuba and got sorted there.

But then again my memory for things like this is not too good so I probably got most of the stuff I wrote wrong. But I'm english so...

 No one in my family voted for him, so as for the mess were in now, hes to blame. Seriously hes definetly not the brightest, and as for Obama i dont know how hes going to run things.

And the reason why we dont have a queen or king is why we rebeled against that form of government back in the colonial days. You know, No taxation with representation and stuff like that.

Oh this is just silly. Everybody knows that the "presidents" are really just figureheads and that the real controlling force behind America is the Patriots.

As my friend Chie would say, "Sheesh."

He wasn't a great president, that's for sure. But it's a bummer that the whole world is using him as the scapegoat for our economic problems, that responsibility doesn't fall squarely on his shoulders. George was elected twice, because he kicks ass. Seriously, he's a guy I want to barbecue with, and before the world because temporary fucked, that's what the country wanted.

TooWalrus....seems your nanomachines are causing trouble for you. Don't trust this man, he can't say Patriot. He is involved with them!

....trend threads...um....are bad...mmmkay?

You don't think it's perhaps a little soon to be comparing Obama to JFK?  Given that JFK actually achieved some stuff....  It is true that getting killed on the job does wonders for your legacy though.

I also don't think Bush Jr. will be judged too badly by history.  It's looking increasingly like Iraq will be a victory of sorts (not what was originally intended, but a victory nonetheless) - and that counts for a lot.  I don't know if I buy the argument that his response to 9/11 kept the US safe, I mean, you lost 3000 in the attack and 5000+ (inc. Iraq) failing to catch the people responsible.  I'd say the response was more or less exactly what AQ wanted it to be.

Wow, that wasn't what I fucking typed at all.

I would say a fair number of the people that are against Bush didn't vote...because they're fucking retarded and don't want to exercise their rights.  The churches here such as these "evangelical" churches got their members to go out and vote for him simply because of his stance on abortion.  Those are two large reasons why he won.
