"Our economic enemies are growing in strength."
well, since the US keeps buying oil, labor and finished goods from other countries, our influence has to start tanking. If we're living off other countries, isn't that socialism? as they say, socialism isn't bad until you're asked to do your fair share.
additionally, people like myself are investing in foreign equities because foreign ecnonomies are growing faster than the US economy.
In general, I have a lot of respect for Hugo Chavez-- he seems to speak his mind and he typically sounds intelligent.
Bush is like a broken record and so boring. I'm glad that Hugo is around to inspire us.
"It was Chavez losing respect, not us."
He doesn't need one. He is a dictator. Diplomacy is not in his vocabulary. He maybe a jokester, but he's got oil and oil can move mountains.
The best way defeat those kinds of people is to set them up where they make that first mistake and strike hard. Don't give him another chance.
Chavez is definitely over the top and makes friends with some pretty suspect people. But joey, I agree, the fact that he can say this kind of thing in front of the UN and get cheered is a pretty sad commentary about how poorly Bush and the US are seen in the eyes of the world right now.

Chavez the Dictator? with 70%+ popular support (by independent pollster)?
How about our dictator at home, with secret wire tapping and draining our treasury with gifts to industry friends?
Why don't you set Bush and Cheney up where they make that first mistake and strike hard? Like you said, don't give them another chance!
"Bush and Cheney...make that first mistake...?
Are you kidding? They're on their 99th one.LOL
"We are simply losing respect around the world at an alarming rate."
And, all we really need to do to get it back is to vote all these assclowns out.
He's telling the truth! I can't believe though how much disrespect Bush has earned.
I can't remember the last time a U.S president was talked about in such low regard, with the world listening.
I agree with the last 2 Anons. It's sad to think that decades ago, when America speaks, everybody listens, when America leads, everybody follows and when America is angry, everbody trembles. Today, America is "mocked." No wonder why we can no longer get a coalition, nobody wants to go with us. Sad...sad!
If I may add to the last 3 anons, just watched when our economy tanks. Only the illegals will listen and follow America, if we give them amnesty.LOL!
Of course we are losing respect with this crowd. The only thing they respect is raw power. We have become politically schizophrenc by trying to earn love and admiration from the neurotic EU countries, and at the same time respect from these sociopath thugs.
I say we give the EU handwringers a double dose of Prozac with warm milk, and guys like Chavez a laser-guided suppository attached to a 30,000 pound bunker buster.
I got to wonder if Bush let off a spectacular fart before leaving the podium for Chavez. That would account for the sulphur.
I think Bush would be a helluva nice guy to hang out with...great sense of humor and all, but he has no business running anything larger than a Fotomat.
He's made America look bad with his inability to see how others perceive our actions...and his inability to form a coherent plan of action.
Some will say, well that doesn't matter anyhow, as we can just bomb them if they don't like us. Which is true. I suppose I could put a bullet in anybody who looks competes with me for a parking spot or looks at me funny, too. But then I have to shoot his friends who will come after me, then the cops, then their friends...ultimately it would have been easier for me to just be a little more tolerant and get along with folks.
Smiting Osama and his merry men is definately called for...there is just no way we are going to get along with them...but pissing on the entire southern half of our hemisphere just because they don't share our political viewpoints is staggeringly moronic.
Chavez is just reflecting the idiocy...he's a little man trying to act like the big man...with all his talk of evil doers and such. The American president sets the fashion trends for all other presidents...and this one is strutting around in a monkey suit.
(Yes, I KNOW about Clinton's blowjob and penchant for devouring babies live. I ripped on him while he was still relevant. He's gone now, and those traumatized by him need to get on with the healing process.)
Just a small anecdote, but we started the mockery and disrespect of our Gov. and our enemies are exploiting it by following our lead. Example: the Dixie Chicks in the UK, another, I noticed early on in the Bush Regime that the Lib. Media never called Him President Bush.
He is has always been and is still Mr. Bush. I do not remember any other US Pres. that was not referred to as such, and it was a down hill snowball from there.
The Islams that do not believe in their gov/religion policy put on a united front tot he world. Even thieves are more united than these United States, when they face trouble they have each other’s back. We have forgotten how to do that.
We need to adapt a neutral policy and if they start something, then we finish it. We need to police our borders, not the world as such.
Face it, we are split down the middle, every one knows it and they will use it against us with their spin.
Chaves loves the American people.
VIVA CHAVEZ!!!!!!
Chavez wouldn't be as popular as he is if oil prices hadn't risen and he keeps rewriting Venezualas constitution to keep him in power. His shit don't stink but I admire his chutzpah and willingness to confront Bush who is the worst president in my lifetime. But chavez is still a cheap panderer as Bush is and in the end looks silly making those comments at the UN and will not gain any respect worldwide in the longrun. Ahmadinejahd making similar remarks (and denying the holocaust) is equally comical and is pandering as well because the majority of Iranians hate his guts. They are all cheap egotistic tyrants at the end of the day. By the way, the dixiechicks have more balls then the whole of those c*ck sucking cowboys from Nashville making shitty country pop music.
oops, I meant his shit does stink.
shit does stink.
Sh*t,
you spelled it wrong.
infidelwoman,
When exactly did "we" start the mockery of our own government? Just within the last 5 years, I suppose? Please, spare me. This is America, we have been criticizing our own government since the day it was formed, that's what helps this country act like a democracy.
During every war except for this last one, there have been congressional commissions setup to investigate how the war was being fought. Even WWII, in which everybody likes to sanctify FDR's support, had the Truman commission. If anything, the current President has enjoyed less criticsm than most of his predecessors. So to place the loss of esteem he has endured throughout the world on the Dixie Chicks is the absolute height of ridiculousness.
And I'm a little confused how the islamists are busy showing a united front when they've been busy fighiting wars with each other for years now, or did the Iran/Iraq, Iraq/Kuwait wars never happen and is the Iraqi Civil War not currently happening right now? Nice united front they put up.
You are an ignorant fool.
I am thankful that we have Bush during these difficult times. And I am sincerely thankful that none of you are heading our country.
Yeah, thank god Bush keeps isolating us from the rest of the world, I'm sick and tired of them edumacated uropeens telling us to holster our weapons. I feel much safer now that saddam is in chains and Iraqis are blowing themselves up every day. Thank god Bush let Osama Bin Laden escape to Pakistan so we could fight the real enemy in Iraq. And god bless wiretaps.
Dixie Chicks was just an example, and my post is mostly just an observation, not necessarily my personal opinion.
The context of the disrespect for the US President is nastier than ever. Why is President Bush referred to always as Mr. Bush, and every other president before him has been called President whomever?
I did not mean that the Middle East Was United, they don't even know who is fighting who on a given day.
The Press interviewed and Iranian woman who refused to speak ill of her country in public, but 90% of Iranians loath their whack job wanker leader.
There will be a revolt there soon, I hope.
Maybe a Coup ala’ Vietnam....

WHoops, did not mean to double post.
I agree with Tabasco, the Islamacists are not united, it is shia vs. sunni to the death for those tards. Their hatred of the west is not greater than their hatred of each other yet, but it will change over time. The recent Lebanon debacle is a prime example.
One can only hope.
Infidelwoman,
Yes, there is the possibility of a revolt in Iran. Infortunately, the US, well Bush to be exact, has been hurting those chances by stating that Iran is part of an axis of evil and invading their neighbor and building permanenet military bases there that can house hundreds of thousands of troops.
When countries feel attacked, they tend to rally around their leader, much the same way the US rallied around Bush after 9/11.
This is why Ahmadinejad is so smug right now. As crazy as it may seem, the best way for the US to help the Iranian people and hurt Ahmadinejad may be for us to pull out of Iraq, so that fear of invasion chip is taken away from him.
Although, that just might create an even worse state of affairs by letting loose an even more violent civil war in Iraq, and there is no way that will happen anyways because Bush will never admit defeat (not of the US, but of his grand Iraq vision).
So, basically, we're fcked. We're just going to have to put up with leaders like Ahmadinejad and Chavez insulting our country for the foreseeable future and hope our next president is much more competent.
Of course, Bush might even take the exact opposite tack and just decide to invade Iran, in which case our troops in Iraq become sitting ducks to all out Shiite rage and oil goes to $200/barrel, which would really be swell for us all here in the US and throughout the world.
In any case, we just don't have very many good options right now, which is why these guys like Ahmadinejad and Chavez are so emboldened and why other countries are so ridiculing of Bush and the complete screw up job he's done since he took office.
Dixie Chicks as a reason, not so much.
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez launched a new personal attack against President George W. Bush, calling the US leader an "alcoholic" and a "sick man" during a tour of the New York district of Harlem.
Speaking while walking in a Harlem street, Chavez told a group of passers-by: "Bush is an alcoholic, a sick man with a lot of hang-ups."
"He walks like John Wayne," declared the left-wing Venezuelan leader. "He doesn't know anything about politics, he got there because of Daddy." Bush's father, George Bush, was also a US president.
Hugo ain't tellin us anything we don't allready know. He's stealing Michael Moores schtick. He could have gotten alot more mileage out of criticising G.W. intelligently and with facts rather than sulpher jokes. But that wouldn't rile up the mass of uneducated rabble would it.
mod infidel, bingo.
He's just like GW calling other countries evil. Chavez is feeling his oats right now, but he has too much power in his own country and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Things may be looking bright for him now, but we'll see how long that lasts.
If he wre truly enlightened, he would try to decentralize his own government. Hell, maybe he is doing that and I just don't know about it. Somehow, I doubt it, though.
I don't have television so when I do see things like 'Fox News Alert' like it's code orange or something I cannot believe what idiots we are in this country. I spent 25 days in the south of France in June and even the rednecks there (yes, they exist) are way smarter than most americans. No America bashing though, every person I encountered was super polite, helpful and easygoing. Not one word to me about George Bush or politics or Iraq, quite the opposite climate the neofarts at Fox would have us believe about French people. My wife did meet an african man in France that loved George Bush because he thought GW was going to send our army to his country to save his people from their dictator. Television is a dangerous drug.
This just in...America has traded George W. Bush, Jessica Simpson, and a fifth round draft pick to Venezuela for Hugo Chavez, Miss Venezuela, and an undisclosed amount of crude oil.
Yeah, yeah and Chavez's upper lip smells like Ahmadinejahd's Shit!
The crazy things is our President's ignorance gave rise to these dudes.
Put Condoleeza Rice on this ASAP!
I've always liked Chavez, but I didn't know he was this funny!
