The only people I've ever heard saying 'aboot' were slack-jawed Americans who thought they were being funny. As for your president, I can sympathise with people who don't feel that he represents them. I admired Reagan, for his perception and resolve, but I think 'Dubya' has ethical problems only marginally less severe than his embarassing predecessor. I live in a country ruled by a mean-spirited, senile, dictatorial bully who mangles both of our official languages, so I recognise an embarrassing leader when I see one.
