You are reading the post entirely backwards. The piece is a funny commentary/criticism of the American Culture in comparison to the English Culture. The joke about Bush at the very beginning is quite obviously tacked on. The rest does not contain anything political, especially not anything political about the presidency.
This is not a farce to make fun of the President. This is a comic piece that some one attached a 1-sentence opinion as to our presidential choice to the beginning. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. Moreover, you are making this a direct âripâ on Europeans.
I advise taking things with a bit more humor. Remember in kindergarten when you are taught to respect other peopleâs opinions? People are allowed to think a candidate is a poor choice. If you do not like it, feel free to not read it. Even if this were a political work, Iâd advise not being a vigilante about it. Bush is human, he has his flaws. Itâs OK for people to poke fun from time to time. Not everyone will agree with every choice.
To quote you: âYou have it backwards, my insulting poster.â
