Nations dislike the United States for the wrong reasons. An average European would just say they dont like the United States because we are fat and violent. Besides Iraq, the world as a whole doenst really have a stance on that many US policies. You never hear France complimenting the US for job growth or anything.

But anyhow, if I was from outside of the US, there would be one thing that really bugged me (it bugs me alot now, and i live in the US.) Our "elections." Im sure that this topic has been discussed alot on these forums, but I would just like to list some interesting facts from the 2000 "election."

-Katherine Harris was in charge of the election in Florida. She also ran Bush's campaign in Florida. Jeb Bush, the president's brother, was governor of Florida.
-57,000 voters were deleted from Florida's vote registry. 9/10 of the voters were black. Gore got 93% of the African American vote nationally. A republican company was paid to compile the list of convicted felons, that weren supposed to be allowed to vote. One person, Thomas Cooper, was listed as having committed a crime on January, 30, 2007.
-In Texas, three republican candidates for a town government won by exactly 18,111 votes each. What a coincidence!

I could go on forever. But my point is, other nations seem to focus on stereotypes that the US has to critisize instead of actual faults in our government.

Now, back on topic...I dont think that Hillary Clinton would stand a chance in the 2008 elections.

As a side note: Bush disgusts me. He stole the 2000 election, no doubt. He is the only president ever to enter office with a criminal record. He is a rich boy who has had everything given to him. Bah I cant stand him.
