I don't like Bush because:
His father -George Bush- was in the oil business since the 50's, and was a member of the Skull and Bones secret society. This membership was used by his critics as evidence of elitism.
His grandfather, Prescott Sheldon Bush was a banker.
Do a little research, and you will find connections to very interesting people.
This should already tell you where his interests are, but never mind.
Go here and click on "The Full Harvard Watch Memo" (if you are a Bush apologist, then ignore the omissions in the Boston Globe):

Of course, we know that the White House would never lie to the american people, right? Those stories about some president *cough* Nixon *cough* are figments of some slanderous reporters. Let's forget that Ford's pardon was pretty much the result of blackmail.
Bush apparently is also saying that the UN is full of it, since this looks like our government is already taking steps:

Of course, this should surprise no one since we are 100% sure that Saddam wants to throw nukes to the U.S. Good thing that Russia is broke and China is afraid (ahem): Russia doesn't have enough money to keep its scientists, so many of them went to arab countries (duh!). Even though some guy in CNN said that they are not building refrigerators, well, do we have to make a list of all the countries that didn't like us? -Starting with Russia, the list is quite long. Even with western-oriented leaders like Yeltsin or Putin, there is still resentment to be found.
China didn't even make a decent attempt when the U.S. bombed their embassy in Serbia. An accident (?), but they did nothing -not even a diplomatic gesture. Then the thing with the spy plane. The U.S. released a list of actions to undertake if they didn't release the crew. Oppose the Olympics, take a stand with Tibet, and so on. Lo and behold, a little later the crew was released. Dude, China knows they can't mess with the U.S.
On the other hand, the arabs and the jews (ME) have a fanatical hate toward each other, and Bush wants to go in and start a conflict that most likely will not be confined to Iraq. Russia will sell weapons to the arabs, just like they sold weapons to the vietnamese. We have to remember that America sold weapons to Afghanistan toward the end of 1986, during the conflict with the soviets.
These two countries are waiting for a moment of distraction to stop being "2nd class world powers". China has no problem murdering their own students (Beijing, 1989), much less Americans -directly or indirectly.
Back to America, we can see the actual social trends, and the middle class will eventually disappear. Knowing Bush's background, he cares probably as much as Reagan did. I'm no fan of Springsteen, but he did the right thing by criticizing the republicans during Reagan's presidency.
Most americans didn't want Bush anyway -lost the popular vote.
By the way, what can you say about a guy who couldn't even write his autobiography? ("A Charge to Keep" -written with Karen Hughes). I hear that in England they also make fun of him.
