so why do many hate our president? I mean could we really do better?

The question isn't whether you or I could do better. The questions are "Is he doing the job?",  "Is there something he could be doing it better?" "Is there someone who could do the job better?"\n\nAfter all, he's the one that wanted the job.

No, I don't hate George Bush.  But I don't like people like you who like to hate!    Hate is not a good thing... You should refocus your energy!!!!!!!!

I don't hate him, but he is the worst president I have seen in my 60 years, he makes so many miscalculations and mistakes that cost lives. His supply side economics, his disregard of the Constitution, I could go on for a long time but I am sure that you will hear most of it from others.

There is alot of hatred and most stems from the Gore/Bush campaign.They made a premature call of the election and tried to discredit our military votes by taking it to court to have them thrown out of the count because they were a few days late coming in from overseas.Instead of debating an issue its easier for them to name call.Ie,they called our president Hitler,called conservatives Nazi's and call our troops terrorists..,thank you howard dean,yet they wonder why President Bush doesnt want to work with them?It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Maybe when we get another U.N. @ss kisser like Clinton. The rest of the world will like us (as if it ever has).\nWake up. It is jealousy and hate of freedom that causes us to be disliked.\nIt is much better to be hated for what we are than loved for what we are not.

Don't worry about those people. I think that they're just scared to see that there are still people outside of the U.S. that support our president. They try to use the argument that Bush is making everyone else in the world hate us, so it takes away from that argument. They usually can't use facts to back up what they are saying, so they have to resort to name calling and attacking the opposition. Don't listen to them at all. As an American, I care what people from other countries think, so please keep posting your views!\n\nP.S. I've seen your answers and I think they're great!

Most of the general populace thinks they could do a better job that Pres. Bush, and most of them are wrong. The vast majority of us have no idea how to play the political games it takes to accomplish anything on Capital Hill (Dems or Reps), we don't know nearly as much about the law and government as we think we do, we overestimate our own ability to speak in public, answer questions intelligently and without gaffes on the fly, handle the stress of leading the free world, deal with the press, etc. All of us have ideas; many of us have good ideas, but it takes more than good ideas to be a good president. I voted for President Bush twice, and I'd vote for him again if he could run!

I am not against George Bush. He is a decent honest man. He cares about this country, both present and future. However, he is only one man and too many people want to blame him, or the government for their own stupid problems and lousy choices in life. How can anybody blame one person for all their problems. We have a huge government from local on up. On one hand people like you hate George Bush, on the other you act as if though he has the power of God. If everybody would accept responsibility for their own actions and not expect the government to solve all their problems, the country and the world would be a much better place. Why do hate him? If you live in the United States you have more opportunity than most people in the world. How is George Bush messing up your life? What are you doing to make life better in this country? I would like to hear it.

Bush is an awful president and it's shameful to see so many people who like him. \n\na couple of reasons to hate him: \n\n1- He had Bin Laden cornered and had the resources necessary to find him wherever but then he decided to go to Iraq for no valid reason and he is not even trying anymore to bring the greatest criminal to custody. \n\n2- Bush does not appoint people based on their abilities.  Look at Michael Brown at FEMA, his supreme court nominees, etc.  He gives jobs to his friends regardless of the fact they are incompetent for the position.

We do not all think we are the best.  I am no better than any other man or woman.  We all bleed the same.  And lets face it, Italy is going to kick the $hit out of the US soccer team. But there are vastly huge differences in the freedoms of the USA and other countries.  The USA has many different climates.  If you don't like a certain area, you just pack up and move. That's freedom.  This country was founded by protestants, but even if you are a Satan worshiper, your rights are protected under the US Constitution.  The reason 71% of Europe hates the US is because of one A$$ Clown! Our president.  He has made terrible decisions that have made the rest of the world hate us.  As Americans we have the right to make a change by voting, and believe me, the American people will make serious changes in our government in 2008.  Just give us some time.  The American people are not out to make enemies even though our government is.  Believe me the American people are just as pissed off at Bush as the rest of the world, but one of the things that makes this country so great is the ability of the people to change our government.  By no means does this make us better than anyone else in the world. It simply means that those who have the ability to change things have a responsibility to change things.

As far as I can tell he hates everyone.\n\nAs for people saying we are only reacting to half the story, the President Of The United States shouldn't say such stupid and insensitive things to BEGIN with.

Most Americans do NOT like George Bush!  Most didn't even VOTE for him!  He's crooked and he doesn't care about anybody who isn't filthy rich like he is.\n\nThere are plenty of things wrong with America, you just don't know.

When did this world become sooo hateful???? How can ANYONE say Bush hasn't made any good decisions?! He's DEFENDED this country when people like you were to cowardly and afraid to defend themselves! People MAKE mistakes! Does that mean just because he's President he's not allowed to?!He freed a country from the hands of a dictator that KILLED THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of innocent lives--and you say he did NOTHING good?! I spit on people like you! Ignorance and hate is what's fueling this country nowadays, and its people like YOU who spread it that makes it worse. If you want to be taken seriously--say something IMPORTANT, and when you crack your whip, be sure of what your hitting, because the subject of Bush being inadequate has REALLY been beat to death!

I have no problem bashing the present USA Government.  I think the people in the US ( majority of them ) are great!  I do have a problem with people who bash other countries as a whole like some of the no-brainers in here.  I am from Canada.  Say what you want about us.  But do remember when the planes were falling we did help, side and grieve along with the rest of the Americans.  Unfortunately it's comments like some in here from instigators that make close minded foriegners love to hate you. ...God Bless...p.s Bob    Your an idiot!!

There was a similar conversation going on within yahoo 360. I, being an American, can do nothing more than agree with you on most points. I don't know that I would go as far as to say that as a whole we are worse than Hitler, but I have mentioned to several that I work with that I feel, our President Bush is modern days version of Hitler. \n\nI think, unfortunately, that most (not all) foreigners don't realize that most (not all) Americans don't like the man either! His approval rating as of yesterday was 33%. That's pretty bad. We don't like that he seems to be a bully to others and don't like that we are as a whole viewed as believing the way he does. The argument can be made that "we" re-elected the man. I understand that, although I did not. I didn't vote for him either time. I think the general thought at the time, was that he started something we better let him finish it, since (in theory) he should know what he's doing. Ha!\n\nAs far as history is concerned. I can't argue that either. But again, like every other country that is judged, and they all are, the country as a whole does not necessarily believe the same as their leaders do. I think in the beginning they put on a good "show" and are then elected into leadership. Whom ever puts on the best show wins the "prize". It sucks.\n\nMy response in the discussion to the blog was similar to what is here. I also said that I really hope that someday people just learn to accept others for what they are and what they believe. There is no right or wrong way. There is only what people believe is best for them. That includes democracy! It might be OK for us, but not for others. Our way is not necessarily the "best" way. I just wish everyone could leave everyone else alone.
