1) It was more that they were glad that Bush was finally out.

2) Most Frenchmen probably didn't care. Just like here, the media and the politically active aren't necessarily a representation of what the average person thinks.

They really shouldn't be that dissatisfied with him because I'm sure one of the things the French(and other Euros) hoped he would to do was take down the US a peg or three.
