Which president is most embarrassing for their country?

While Kim Jong II is pretty close, George W.Bush definitly brought the rest of the world plenty of laughs from his speeches and made many think " Seriously, That was the best candidate they had?"Treflis

[QUOTE="Plzhelpmelearn"][QUOTE="Ace6301"] Really? On the foreign relations side I think Obama has been rather successful. At least successful compared to Bush who basically went around making a huge fool of himself and by extension the US. Obama hasn't reached Bush levels of embarrassment yet, and to be honest I really doubt he could.Ninja-Hippo

I don't know. From the looks of the video it doesn't seem like the Saudi is bowing back.... regardless I don't think it was a "disaster", and I am definitely more concerned about his overall foreign policy.

[QUOTE="Ace6301"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Eh. I never found him more embarrassing than Obama has been. He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, much like Obama is doing.fidosim

:lol:

This has been a poor century for presidents.

@ Ace: I was more referring to the American people. Obama is far from abraisive in his foreign policy - in fact he does his utmost to avoid any sort of confrontation at all....

Does Biden count?

George Bush. :oops:

Is it not better to be respected and a partner in the world than ignorant and antagonistic like Bush's administration falsely portrayed America? Ninja-Hippo

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"]

Obama, Definitely. :lol:

Personally I believe Kevin Rudd of Australia was an embarrassment. Everything he touched turned to mud.

During the GFC he made a mess of the economy. Instead of saying "there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the Australian economy", which there was not, he kept talking down the economy and sapped any confidence that there was away. He then wasted billions of dollars on "stimulus" packages. He gave two lots of $900 payments to "stimulate the retail economy". I somehow got $2700 and it went, and still is, in the bank. Then he spent $2bn on a Home Insulation scheme which was so unregulated it led to fraud, nearly 1000 house fires and 4 deaths. He also spent $6bn on Building the Education Revolution which was to build facilities in schools. Thing is, this money didn't fund anything actually inside these buildings, so most of them are just empty shells, and it was so regulated over two-thirds of the cost of a project came from administration costs. He went from a $20bn surplus into a $50bn deficit in the space of a year, and it's still going to be another 3 years until we get into surplus again.

How about our president looking for some asses to kick?

Obama and Hugo Chavez, both are losers.

[QUOTE="spacesheikh"] Well the nukes used against Japan were only a fraction as powerful as the ones available today. However it would have been better if nukes weren't invented at all. Maybe US is to blame for that.Pirate700

The dropping of those bombs on Japan was the biggest terroristic attack I can recall period.

Its time we start maturing as a species.

yeah thats right, we killed easily a million people that didn't have anything to do with it.

Secondly I find it ironic that you have this view, yet if muslims attacked anything over here in the united states it would be a terrorist attack, Even though they are already at war with us....

Obama, Definitely. :lol:

i new someone would say that :lol:

[QUOTE="GodofBigMacs"][QUOTE="spacesheikh"] He's a bit embarrassing I have to admit. His thoughts on the oil leak: "plug that damn hole". Also he called Kanye a jackass regarding the Taylor Swift incident. I would hope that our president doesn't watch MTV Video Awards.Plzhelpmelearn

It's better to admit your country has done wrong than to blindly stay on message at all times. The speech he gave in Saudia Arabia did more for the USA's reputation in the world than anything Bush did over his whole eight years.Ninja-Hippo

Obama has gone beyond that. He has elevated himself above his country, and taken it upon himself, personally, to provide moral leadership for the world. It was pathetic, for example, that he went to Berlin before he was even nominated for President by his own party, and chastised the world at large for "building walls", figuratively, between peoples and countries, while making no direct reference to the great statesmen like Churchill, Kennedy, Reagan, Thatcher, or Kohl who made the actual German divide disappear.

Emperor Palpatine he lost to ewoks and rebels while he had a huge army, grand fleets, and a ship that could destroy planets!

[QUOTE="Plzhelpmelearn"]

[QUOTE="GodofBigMacs"] I fail to see how that would constitute him to be anywhere remotely close to most embarrassing...Ninja-Hippo

And what country was he serving "honorably"? The Soviet Union. Lach0121

I don't see what the problem with that is. What made the US any better than the Soviet Union?

Exactly all these lines in the sand are from an immature time in humanities history.

People are starting to look past these invisible barriers, and are starting to connect with one another.

haha yeah right. FIFA should be a testament to how nationalistic people can get for god's sakes, which is to say nothing of how pissed people get when you say bad things about their country, America or otherwise.

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, or just simply Nero. Emperor of Rome from 54 to 68 CE.

Well, since America is the only country that really matters... I'd go with Obama...

Obama, Definitely. :lol:

Kim Jong Il - how can there be any question? Have you seen pictures of the man?MCGSMB

I don't know if you could really call him embarassing; he was more evil than embarassing.

To be honest, I would be more frightened than humored by a guy dipping people in candle wax and setting them on fire just to light his room.
