OK, a tad late with this one, but worth ruminating on nevertheless. I've never been aware of quite so many outraged, and plain ol' pissed-off Americans as I have during the reign of Bush - and of course, by and large the rest of the world shared their feelings. However, one aspect of this was, and still is, puzzling; they voted him into office not once but twice. So you could maybe forgive ol' George for thinking that folks kinda liked him, and his policies. It's a bit like when Thatcher was thrice-voted into power over here - you just couldn't find anyone who'd admit to voting for her.
Made for laffs though clips like the above are, it's still genuinely chilling to consider that this was the most powerful individual on the planet for the best part of a decade.
