Nope, I'm franco-french (and I never went to the US). The french elected Sarkozy because he's a real expert at marketing communication / propaganda (heck, during the french elections american spin doctors came here to see how he worked) and because the alternative was not that great either (socialists). And the french bash Bush because, well, they bash everything ;) Regarding the second point, I agree: it's more about military and financial issues than cultural ones. But we're not that attracted by China; most young people are mainly interested by Japan (manga and anime stuff).
