with scorn around the world, from liberal and conservative alike.
i have traveled to at least 10 countries during his presidency and he is popular NOWHERE. and I hear this from people across all spectrums of politics, from every kind of foreigner you can imagine. you may disagree with their take, but you cannot disagree with the phenomenon that he is one of the least popular US presidents around the world in recent times. thems the cold hard facts from here, overseas folks. it isnt just all the liberal media.
i did not hear this take on Reagan overseas like this, but then again, Bush is no Reagan and Reagan considerably more conservative of course, as well as a polished and forceful leader with great depth.

Reagan was liked I agree but so wasn’t Clinton. Carter is liked in the Arab world.

The reason he is not popular in the places you have gone to is because he is not a socialist who will screw America in favor of worthless ungrateful foreigners. If he had evicted the illegals he would be the most popular President in history here. Furthermore what is not reported is how UNPOPULAR the DEMONRATS in congress are. They have a third of the popularity rating of the President. In addition there was a President considerably less popular than President Bush. His name was Abraham Lincoln. He freed a boat load of people too, just like President Bush. So I would advise that you take the American off of your handle. You are undeserving of the appellation.

10?
In Iraq, the kurds are naming their kids after him.
In Georgia, they said there’s a boulevard named after him.
He’s popular in Poland.
There are well over 400 countries last I checked!
Nevertheless, as screwed up as most of the world is...
China
Russia
Iran
Cuba
North Korea
Angola
Libya
Syria
Sudan
too many countries in Africa to count...
it’s actually a good thing!
