By ZamboniBush's second big lie in his psychotic farewell speech last week — his first was that he "kept us safe" — is that America's standing in the world is still strong.
Well, perhaps on this eve of our much-anticipated freedom, we cats should not quibble with The Worst Person Who Ever Lived. After all, it appears that the world is pleased with us again — but only because we elected Barack Obama. They're still mighty unhappy with the guy who's leaving.
How do we know? Check out these comments from newspapers around the globe:
"Bush was an unmitigated disaster, failing on the big issues from the invasion of Iraq to global warming, Hurricane Katrina and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression." —Toronto Sun
"The United States was once the symbol of justice in the world but that has been damaged by Bush." —Wiener Zeitung, Austria.
"Perhaps we could say that fate... ultimately helped [the American people] by making sure the President would spend half his time on vacation. Indeed, he would have caused twice the damage if he had been more active and focused." —al-Hayat, the pan-Arabic newspaper
"A weak leader, Bush was just overwhelmed in the job. He confused stubbornness with principles... [I]t will take a long time to repair that damage." —Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Germany
"Bush leaves a legacy of wars and the world economy in meltdown. He has been dismissed as a buffoon and a war-monger, a man who made the world a more dangerous place while sending it to the brink of economic collapse." —The Scottish Daily Record
"It's hard to find a historian who won't say that Bush was the most catastrophic leader the U.S. has ever known." —Le Monde, Paris
Sacre bleu! What brutal verdicts. And, we're sorry to say, well deserved. But we cats look forward to the day when the world once again likes the guy who represents us — a day that's just about 15 hours away. PURRRRRRRRRR.
