Hmm....perhaps I wasn't clear enough.  Bush's poll rates are low...are we not in total agreement that he isn't liked here and that we americans should not be wraped together with him because he isn't liked? Would he win an election today?  I think not! we are just waiting to get rid of him.

Delusional,

I don't think Tom meant that as a hit on all Americans, but rather as a general polemic on the policies adopted by the US government (which presumably acts in the name of the American Public,) and the elite that determine those policies. Capitalism is taken to be democratic, while it is one of the most undemocratic means of governance.

You may find "The Strange Language of Capitalism" an interesting read.
