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.

Clinton may have had some ethical problems, but he was our best president, in terms of success, in probably 70-80 years, maybe ever. He was the ONLY president to ever create a budget surplus in the US.

Most of the great leaders had ethical problems, Franklin Roosevelt had as many as 10 mistresses, and the great Winston Churchill used to drink a gallon of whiskey every day. So what? If they can run the country and be successful at it, who cares about their personal life.
