BushWatch! A personal e-mail from Germany gives view of Chimp's Visit!
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 02:55 PM by KoKo01
(I edited this to take the personal stuff out, but this is in reply to an e-mail I sent to German friend who has also lived and worked in the US but is back working there in Mainz.) Enjoy :D


---------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings!
How sweet of you to think of us in “the old“ Europe. Yes, everybody I know wishes you had kept your minority president over there. The entire town of Mainz is shut off, people have to take leave because they either can’t get to work or are unable to return home. Business has almost closed down, and the airport ceased to function – just because of … George (I am refraining from the use of bad words). However, I am glad you expressed your sentiments and that there are in fact millions of Americans who have not lost their senses.

I was actually quite thrown off my (at times ridiculous) championship of the US. Now, I’ll not ban my American style decoration from the new house and think of the future when the next administration is elected. (Thank God Papa Bush isn’t in the cheese business, or his insipid son would be waging war at Holland which is only a few miles from my home.) Tomorrow the Cowboy will be in Poland to visit his buddies in “the new” Europe. They have emptied a 200-room manor hotel for him and, I’m sure, have the entire remaining military force there to ward off harm (and demonstrations).

Lots of Good Wishes,


XXXXX

1. There are few words to
describe how this makes me feel. Embarrassed covers it I think. I guess this means they don't want to keep him for us.

2. A friend who lives in Germany expressed similar sentiments,
asking if our dumpsters here are so small that we have to send our trash overseas.

3. LOL's..... I can't remember any president being protested so much on
visits to Europe. Wherever he goes here he travels like an old "Banana
Republic Dictator, with black hawk helicopters flying overhead and many SUV's for escort. To say nothing of the police and SS he uses. He's been to my area of NC twice and Cheney once. They slip in through the back door and even when Bush had a motorcade he was behind smoked glass and you could barely see him as he "waved" to us protestors.

I think it's bizarre. Johnson was disliked but I don't think he traveled around all the time promoting himself like the Chimp does. He seems to love the attention and the disturbance it makes. Yet, no one complains about the expense to the local governments or how much it costs us for them to bring all the "bullet proof" SUV's (I counted about five) the "black hawks" the press and the extra guards for him.

It's insane that we have this man in our White House and more insane those who put him in there and enjoy all this. Bullies and thugs...
