I don't live in the USA and therefore not immersed in the rhetoric enough to know what you are talking about regards a McCain, let alone to be able to forget it... or know what the 3am stuff is either.
The rest of the world doesn't take much notice really, USA is just another country in the world.
But. "From where I sit", the level of love for the leader does not seem to be as high as other presidents. In that there are MORE people say, like you, who voice displeasure of him. On this side of the world we usually see a bunch of citizens of the US all swooning over their president even when they have all seemed pretty rubbish.
I didn't say he doesn't appear to have ANY I said MANY. But sweet as, it's not my cup of tea spending too much time or energy comparing politicians in my own country let alone some other country.
