OK, the US has Uncle Sam as a national "spokesman"; Do you fuzzy foreigners have someone comparable ?

Britain used to have Britannia - a rather sexy warrior woman - but I'm not sure if we still use her or if she's a relic of the Empire.

Yes, he speaks Spanish much better than most Americans, and he's a friend of my President's. Good enough. Other than that, he's a moronic despotic fraud. Thank you for your attention and my two points.

Ditch this special relationship claptrap, theres no nead for us ordinaries to be influenced by the political machinations of self-serving power-hungry nincompoops (sorry I just love using that word...).  I'm British and I have nothing but love for my septic bretheren.  They gave us Jazz, Elvis, Hendrix, WWII etc.  \n\nSeriously though, the real Americans I know are wonderful people, if a bit keen on everything and I really hope that someday they'll realise what a dreadful mistake they made in declaring independence from us. \n\nI love America too, but before I trade in Blighty for the New World, they've got to get rid of the death penalty, TV evalgelism, rubbish cars (and drive on the left), "We're No.1!", McDonalds and most importantly that pillock in the White House.

Since day one.  "Most of our imports come from overseas" is not the kind of talk from our president that makes me proud.  "Nucular" has also stuck as an irritant.  He seems to pride himself on that stuff.  On the more serious side, invading a country that did not  attack us, voiding the Geneva Convention and advocating of torture, wiretapping without court orders, detaining people without charges, trial or representation, calling those that disagree traitors; these and many other such things coming from our government is much more than embarrassment.  It is contrary to everything I hold dear about being American.  And then there is all the death and destruction, for what?  I think we all would like to find that out, in open hearings.  If that happens, there are going to be a lot of very angry Americans.

That is an interesting point about America from its neighbour. It is a pity that Americans have not earned the good will of even one of his neighbours. They need to have a re look at their international relations and relations with their neighbours.

I wholeheartedly agree with you mate, I live in England and am of English parents. It seems the United States have set themselves up as the nanny of the world despite the fact they are responsible for some of the worst atrocities outside of of the 3rd Reich. Anyone that doesnt agree with their world view is seen as an enemy of america and therefore a terrorist, saying this your President seems very hardline and I can understand the objections to you having nuclear capabilities at this time.

I'm not from the USA, I don't live there and don't intend to, however I have no problems with the USA and think that people who want to be rude about the USA should look at the political structure of their own country first. If after that and they are still of the opinion that the USA is not for them then kindly state their country of residence for comparison.

Uncle Sam is a national personification of the United States dating from the War of 1812. Common folklore holds that his origins trace back to soldiers stationed in upstate New York, who would receive barrels of meat stamped with the initials U.S. The soldiers jokingly referred to it as the initials of the meat supplier, Uncle Samuel Wilson, of Troy, New York. The 87th United States Congress adopted the following resolution on September 15, 1961: "Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives that the Congress salutes Uncle Sam Wilson of Troy, New York, as the progenitor of America's National symbol of Uncle Sam." A monument marks his birthplace in Arlington, Massachusetts. However, counter-arguments to this theory have been raised by some (for example, see Cecil Adams' article at The Straight Dope) so the precise origin of the term may never be proven.

ABSOLUTLY NOT.  One's loyalty to the USA should never be weighed against the native nation of the president.  Last thing we need is either a manchurian candidate, or a president who is second guessed because of their nationality.

I'm certainly sick of it. I have a sign on my front door for all to see. It is a picture of  Uncle Sam, only he looks like he's insane. Beside his picture it says "Mr. Bush, I really getting pissed off at what you are doing to my country!" I think that pretty well says it all.

He's my president, I might not like everything he and his administration are doing, but we have to put up a united front so that we won't appear weak to other countries. We don't want other countries laughing at us now. Do we?

You are making GROSS generalizations. \n\nDoes the rest of the world have any clue how many Americans are disgusted with our own government's foreign policies?  How many Americans LOATHE our current administration?  How many Americans have expatriated or are in the process of expatriating in disgust?\n\nShut up, sit down, and don't tell me what I do and don't have a clue about.

Uncle Sam is a national personification of the United States dating from the War of 1812. The term "Uncle Sam" can also be used as a synonym for the United States of America, especially the United States government. \n\nHistorians aren't completely certain how the character "Uncle Sam" was created, or who (if anyone) he was named after. The prevailing theory is that Uncle Sam was named after Samuel Wilson.\n\nWilson was born in Arlington, Mass., on September 13, 1766. His childhood home was in Mason, New Hampshire. In 1789, he and his brother Ebenezer walked to Troy, New York.\n\nDuring the War of 1812, Wilson was in the business of slaughtering and packing meat. He provided large shipments of meat to the US Army, in barrels that were stamped with the initials "U.S." Supposedly, someone who saw the "U.S." stamp suggested -- perhaps as a joke -- that the initials stood for "Uncle Sam" Wilson. The suggestion that the meat shipments came from "Uncle Sam" led to the idea that Uncle Sam symbolized the federal government.\n\nSamuel Wilson died in 1854. His grave is in the Oakwood Cemetery in Troy.\n\nUncle Sam's traditional appearance, with a white goatee and star-spangled suit, is an invention of artists and political cartoonists; Samuel Wilson did not look like the modern image of Uncle Sam. For example, Wilson was clean-shaven, while Uncle Sam is usually portrayed with a goatee.\n\nThomas Nast, a prominent 19th-century political cartoonist, produced many of the earliest cartoons of Uncle Sam. However, historians and collectors take note: Many of Nast's cartoons may appear to depict Uncle Sam, while in fact they depict Yankee Doodle or "Brother Jonathan." It is easy to mistake a Brother Jonathan cartoon for one of Uncle Sam, since both figures wear star-spangled suits of red, white and blue. As a rule, Brother Jonathan was drawn with a feather in his cap, while Uncle Sam was not; and Uncle Sam is nearly always drawn with a beard, while Brother Jonathan was clean-shaven.\n\nSome have suggested that Dan Rice, a 19th-century clown, inspired Thomas Nast's Uncle Sam cartoons. Rice's clown costume consisted of a hat and star-spangled suit, much like the costome worn by Uncle Sam. However, Rice was born in 1823, and did not begin clowning until 1844; and Uncle Sam cartoons appeared as early as 1838. Therefore, it seems unlikely that Rice was, in fact, the inspiration for Nast's cartoons.\n\nThe single most famous portrait of Uncle Sam is the "I WANT YOU" Army recruiting poster from World War I. The poster was painted by James Montgomery Flagg in 1916-1917.\n\nMany early examples of Uncle Sam cartoons can be found in The Foremost Guide to Uncle Sam Collectibles, by Gerald E. Czulewicz (Collector Books, 1995).
