Whenever I ask people why they hate Bush, they say:

"Because he's a retard."
"Because he's an idiot."
"Because of Iraq."

Those reasons aren't good enough to vehemently hate the man. How has President Bush affected your life, specifically, to hate him so? Did Bush snub your country in some way? What did the man do?

It seems to me that most people hate on George W Bush for no reason whatsoever. Some people have legitimate reasons to hate the man. However, the vast majority do not.

The hatred that I have seen directed towards the Clintons, in and out of the Oval Office, and W. Bush, makes no sense to me, either.

I understand disagreeing with their politics and especially with politices X, Y, or Z. But the fuming hatred that you ask about strikes me as a red-flag that people are simply angry in life and these politicians have become their scapegoats.

Leaders of nations are often inspiring. I almost always feel energised by the power exuded by people who have risen to the top.

Yet Bush leaves me in a quandary every time I hear him speak, speaking childlike English and apparently believing childlike things. The one exception was the speech immediately after 9/11 which made me think that he's enigmatic, good one day and then useless the next.

Isn't it true that he was a very good governor? He runs a very tight ship as a leader and has surrounded himself with smart people and invoked their loyalty. Maybe he's charismatic in the flesh, lord knows he leaves me completely cold in TV appearances.

I remember watching him commiserate with Hurricane Katrina workers. One could easily see that he wasn't listening at all, but rather forming his reply.

Is it possible to rise to the presidency of the US and be a dunce?? I think anyone who believes that must be naive. I must be naive.

One thing is sure: he came at a time in history when there were opportunities all round for progress in the world. It's all been squandered and now the world is teetering on all kinds of crisis.

[anyway]

Ever see the movie "Being There" with Peter Sellers?? Chauncey makes George look pretty dumb.

Hate is a word that shouldn't be used lightly. I would use it against someone who killed one of my family or something like that. I don't hate Georgie Boy. I am actually glad that he exists because he has exposed the true American ignorance and arrogance more than any other American in the history of the country. Think about it.

He epitomizes the greed and hypocrisy of the religious right. He and Dick Cheney have been about as foul and underhanded as legally possible. They obviously couldn't care less about American public opinion, let alone world opinion. But the world was shocked by the 2000 election. The world was shocked by Katrina and FEMA's response. The world was shocked when the US military asked for immunity from War Crime Court jurisdiction. Let's not forget the dude started out his first term with several months of vacation in Texas. (Wonder what they were talking about??)

But more than anything else, George Bush is reviled around the world because he has unleashed a war which has devastated an entire country, causing untold suffering and pain for generations to come both in Iraq and in the USA. A war which serves no purpose whatsoever other than to serve as rallying call for terrorists around the world.

Not many men have brought as much pain and suffering into the world with so little justification as Georgie, but I don't hate him. He's just a figurehead. The head on the tick.

"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job."
A return to divine right huh?

�We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories � And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them."
Apparently the god, that speaks through GW, is a liar.

"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

"I'm the commander � see, I don't need to explain � I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president."
He extends this arrogance and lack of accounability not only to his words but his actions. Wiretapping anyone?

"There ought to be limits to freedom."

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
Hm. I think I see a pattern here.

Iraq.
The Patriot Act.
Wiretapping.
The attorney general scandal.
Consistently acting in the interests of corporations and not the people.
An all-encompassing arrogance and blatant disregard for the will of the people.
Whatever Bush wants is "right" and "just". (God speaks through him like the kings of old... How could he be wrong?) That is to say:

The end justifies the means.

That is what this administration is built on.

There's more to be said but I stopped watching TV a while ago and I try to ignore all the crap that comes out of this administration.
The US is in a downward spiral and Bush as a large part of that.

[squexx]

Bush is a sock puppet for the Kosher mafia and big business. He's a weak, malleable lightwieght who got elected by his handlers manipulation of voting results. Bush is one of the worst, if not the worst president in the history of the USA!

[ernie]

and yet he won TWO elections!
