Politics bore me. Hours of men in suits on a stage rambling about the state of the nation and whatnot. What interests me is the reaction of the people to current political issues.
Thankfully, as we near the end of the first decade of the new millennium; people have learned to view politicians and their ramblings with a certain amount of humor.
One politician in particular has been ridiculed by the public, not only in his home country, America, but across the world.
George W. Bush was sworn in as the American president on January 20, 2001. At noon of the 21 January 2009, Bush will be stepping down as president of the USA. His replacement has yet to be determined.
How will the world remember George W. Bush? Did his time in office result in a positive impact on the American economy, on the lives of the American people?
Let's take a look at some photos from protest marches, in the US and around the world, to determine the public opinion of Bush.
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses…” And Bush will leave them hungry and dying in the gulf coast states.
The famous phrase, engraved on the Statue of Liberty, is from Emma Lazarus's poem "The Colossus", written in 1883. These words greeted early immigrants, welcoming them to the Americas, promising hope, freedom and comfort. The wearer of this shirt obviously feels that George Bush does not live by these words.
The only Bush I trust is my own
“It'll be like "Blam Blam! Pow pow! Blam blam! YaBoooosh! AAAARRRGGHHH! You got me!" ”
This poster depicts Bush playing with children's soldier figurines; expressing that the president didn't fully think through the current war in the East, and that his decisions regarding the war may have been childish, immature and rash.
Empty warhead found in White House
Will somebody please give Bush a blowjob so we can impeach him!
This protest poster uses a former president's infidelity to create a tongue-in-cheek opinion of the current president. Bill Clinton was impeached after having sexual relations with his secretary. Perhaps this woman feels the only way she'd see the back of Bush is if he were to follow suit.
Weapons of mass dysfunction
End Bush
Possibly a statement that many politicians will not understand, this sign cleverly uses HTML code to express the opinion that Bush's term in office must end.
I pee on bushes
Even dogs have a political opinion.
