Why does everyone hate Bush for being powerful, handsome, popular, etc.?

He's hated because he's arrogant and lacks basic respect for constitutional principles, witness the phone spying controversy, or the fact that he lied the American people into a war we never had to fight, and Americans are dying because of it. This from a guy who used the National Guard to dodge the draft, and then didn't show up for the Guard. I'm a Army/Navy veteran 1971-73/1979-1991. Let his wife worry about his looks I'm worried about our Democracy.

Historicly,   People respected the president even if you didn't like or vote for him simply because he was the president.\n\nThe idea of President bashing is a new one.

i dislike him for the follwing reasons:\n-he is deceitful and manipulative.  \n-his cabinet has promoted and condoned torture and human rights abuse, particularly concerning anyone detained in the so-called 'war on terror', (not actual terrorists).\n-he shows no respect for other countries or their cultures.\n-he has put our country in extreme debt, harming future generations.  \n-he claims to love jesus, who promoted peace, but bush promotes war and fear.  \n-he is not intelligent or articulate, and he makes americans look like idiots to the rest of the world. \n-he doesn't seem to know how to apologize. \n-he appoints people to positions of power who are seriously unqualified for the job, (like the head of fema).  \n-he doesn't read the news.  \n-he exagerrated and falsified reasons to invade another country, against international law.\n-he refuses to answer confrontational questions. (he is more secretive than the nixon administration was.)\n-he conducts business and makes contracts in secret with corporations which cause harm, to benefit his wealthy friends.  (look into halliburton.)\n-he claims to be speaking on behalf of god.  that is a psychological disorder, making him unfit for office.\n\ni could go on, but the list is too long for this post.

It baffles me why people support him. He is an imbecile. Its fact. How can an imbecile be the leader of the worlds most powerful nation. He might push the 'Red Button' trying to turn on a light and start a nuclear war.

the gallup poll of late states that 59% of americans disapprove of bush's job performane.\n\nthere are no scientific polls on how many people think he sucks, but if you factor in other countries, those that intensely dislike bush would be over a billion, in my estimation.

You question assumes that he was elected the first time around. I disagree. He was selected. Second time...his cronies owned and built the voting machines,and Kerry was a shallow puppet douche. Add it up, it was rigged. I hate Bush. I assume that you hate Bush. 69% of the country hates Bush. And the rest of the whole world hated Bush. ABASSO IL RE! (Italian, not Spanish. For all you little bigots out there clenching your teeth and shaking your little fists, there is a difference.)

The main problem is that somebody with clearly very little intelligence can have so much power and can get away with blatantly abusing that power. He has so much blood on his hands I don't know how he can look himself or his fellow human beings in the eye. "Annoying/frustrating" barely scratches the surface of many, many peoples feelings about Bush and his government - despair and anger are nearer the mark.

He got George W. Bush elected to the Presidency of the United States twice.\n\nI liken that to winning the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness with a plow horse.\n\nI hate him but he is very effective.

because other guys like vice president misuse him.\nHe is nothing more than a toy.

I absolutely hate him! The only reason why he is president is because the office was handed to him on a silver platter by the Supreme Court in 2000, and not only that, but there is evidence that there was possible election fraud in 2004. He has started a war that was based on a lie and he has failed to capture Osama bin Laden, the real culprit behind the September 11 attacks. People who hate him are often accused of being un-American, but in reality, Bush and his cohorts are the ones who are un-American, because thanks to them, we now have domestic spying! They have no respect for the Constitution, because they are doing everything possible to break down the separation of church and state, which is clearly established in the Constitution. And not only that, but people's First Amendment rights have been infringed upon. An example of this is the fact that whenever Bush visits a major U.S. city, protesters aren't allowed to demonstrate anywhere within his range of vision.\nSandra Day O'Connor has actually said that we are slowly moving towards a dictatorship, and you know that whenever a Republican-appointed former Supreme Court justice says something like that, we have reason to worry!

Well I hate Bush with a passion but I cant knock him for what he has been able to accomplish.  \nHe was smart enough to understand that he needed to focus his attention toward the least educated population of the country.\nHe needed to get the......... \n"LETS BOMB THEM ARABS, USA IS #1, JESUS LOVES ME" \ntype of voter on his side. \nSo he could tells his lies to the retards of the country and also preach JESUS love to the rest.\nAnd the rich will get the HUGE contracts in Iraq!\n\nWith this plan... he won!  You can win on stupid!\nBUSH is proof!

This has baffled me too.  I have a friend who is crazy about Bush and she explained it this way:  "I love Bush, because he's like a common person in the way he trips over his words and sometimes doesn't make sense.  I don't really trust intellectuals that much."  I hope this isn't the prevailing sentiment in the United States, but it would explain how we ended up with such a person as the visible face of America to the rest of the world.

Most scholars agree that president Bush is a good speaker who knows how to persuade his audience. The other thing is his work and his overall popularity...:)))\nI definitely like his speeches because he's often making fun of himself which is quite impossible to see in other  countries and other presidents...others are too serious.
