I don´t hate him. The word"hate" would more adequately describe someone evil like bin Laden or Hitler. I don´t really think a President or Prime Minister can please everyone. There´s always someone to complain. I don´t think it is a job I could handle.

Thank you for your response, I agree with you, but the things I hear on other sites makes me feel like he really is hated, more by other countries than our own. I think this will be a good subject.

I am surmising President Bush is viewed as a leader that attempts to imprint his beliefs and ideologies onto other countries. Perhaps he cannot imagine how a culture would want to live in something other than democracy. Rather linear thinking on his part, maybe?

I think he is honestly trying his best. Trying to do what he considers to be right. I think the word HATE is too strong to use if you just disagree with someone´s beliefs. He was voted in after all. - and there are worse people around with as much power.

I am a very good American- however, I do not agree with the war in Iraq, building the wall to keep illegal immigrants out, and also banning gay marriage. President Bush, as leader of the Republican party, is taking the blame for this- and that is what I truly feel, he is responsible for this war, and he needs to get us out of it before the power trades hands. Thanks for posting something like this! =)

Obviously not everyone hates him, but the hatemongers are the most vocal. People who don't hate everything stay home and so don't show up to hate rallies and don't voice hatred for others whenever they can. So you don't hear much from those who like the president. They have more important things to do in life than waste time with hatred. Also the mainstream media hates him with a passion, so they batter away at him and create the illusion that he's hated by everyone in the world. They're pretty good at creating illusions. Don't worry, the hate media isn't getting away with it the way they used to when they were a monopoly. The general public are no longer letting them lie with impunity anymore. It's a good sign the people are waking up to the biases. The same with the war. If we were shown all the good that we're doing in Iraq the war would be considered a great success. It's against the media template to show success in any war while a republican is in office.
