Moby has stated that his attacks on the policies of President Bush have helped increase his worldwide popularity.

The vegan songwriter vehemently disagrees with Bush's policies on cutting education and health funds, saying that he does not agree with the government's choice to instead increase military spending.

According to BreakingNews.ie, Moby thinks that his criticism of the American president has helped him to gain European support.

He explained: "It's safe to say that my political views have alienated a lot of people in America, but, conversely, my politics seem to have endeared me to a lot of people in continental Europe."
