April 1, 2004 has been declared National "I'm Embarassed by my President" day by the Democracy Means You web site. The site is encouraging everyone across the country to wear a brown ribbon to protest the "arrogance, greed, shortsightedness, selfishness, and outright lies told by George W. Bush".
We as Canadians have it pretty easy. We are able to get in there (where? well, cyberspace, TV, radio, newspapers, coffee shops, etc) and really criticize the Bush administration AND we don't share any of the blame for voting for him. Of course, neither do more than 50% of American voters. However, it is rather ironic that our own government is caught in scandal after scandal wasting and mis-spending millions of our dollars yet still enjoy very high approval ratings. Maybe we should remove the plank in our own collective eye before pointing out the speck in the eye of the body politic of others. Just a thought.
