1. Poland was one..lol

They're just happy about the nod he gave them at the debates. :-)

2. India, Phillippines...what's the third?

If you mean more people like him than hate him in Poland, it's still way below 50%.

3. India only likes him because he gave away all our software jobs to them &

all those jobs where they sit and call us and try to get us to take on another credit card.

5. You'd be amazed how many Indians are here on H1B and L1 visas

in fact "Nation's immigrants account for bulk of labor force growth since 2000--Native-born workers eclipsed by great wave of immigration"

4. GW and the PIPs (Poland, India and the Phillipines) will rock your world

6. And how countries gave Bush a NEGATIVE rating?

7. I'm surprised Indians rate him positively. When I was there the

English language newspapers were quite rabid in their contempt for him.

8. Look, India does not love bush the man

i think bush got the benefit of the favorable impression us Indians have of America. Out here, we love doing things the American way. Bush's favorable rating is just reflected glory. The general impression amongst the middle class, to which I belong, out here is that bush is a benign dolt. F911 was a HUGE hit in urban india...
