Ahh, to be french!

Ahhhh, to be french. Not just for the culture, or the food, or the women...but for the uncompromising use of common sense.

We all know what the english think of the french. My adopted country's feelings about the country across the pond is stuff of legend. But what has inspired me to write this post is the current economic mess we find ourselves in and where it originated. The United States of America.

So please permit me to take you back to 2004, October to be exact. A time when Senator John Kerry and Governor George Bush were fighting it out for the presidency of the United States. To say George bush was running a dirty campaign is like saying Mick Jagger had never had sex with women, but his chosen line of attack is what i find ironic in retrospect. George Bush was (successfully) painting John Kerry as unpatriotic (ignoring his distinguish service career), elitist (just dumb talk for intellectual) and worst of all FRENCH (John Kerry fought this quip by speaking french on the stump). As a result John Kerry was turned into this.

So what did the American people choose to do; re-elect a dumb ass because of their own intellectual insecurity (I mean really, is it that bad to have a president who is smarter than you), they re-elected someone who was liberal with the spillage of the most precious American resource, american blood and well some one who was un-french-like.

I mean is it that bad to be like a nation that are congratulatory to those who possess intellectual and cultural excellence? Is it bad to be like a nation that are not phobic about government and allows them to take the lead in important health and social issues such as childhood obesity, global warming and sex education? (And the point to all this is...) Is it that bad to be like a nation that absolutely detests debt, therefore chose not to build an economy on fake money?

The French must be laughing their asses off. I know I would be. They are going to be hit with a recession no doubt, but not a screw you in the ass while I listen to McFly (for all those not getting the reference, either look them up or change to the worst type of music possibly imaginable) recession like we, the british or them Americans will be facing.

George Bush proves that a huge percentage of the American electorate are idiots, dumb asses, dill weeds...I can really go on and on but i will not hit the word needed that describes what a monumental cock up bush was. The blame can't be all on bush, it has to go to the country that elected him.

I have heard so much about this American leadership, but this has got to be the single greatest threat to that myth. America is supposed to lead the world? Really? So please explain to me how they voted for someone like George Bush, Twice. TWICE PEOPLE. No amount of Barack Obama clean away that JuJu.

Now hear we are, approaching a crushing financial Tsunami.

Don't you want to have a beer with George Bush now everybody
