What you are saying sounds good but it doesn't seem to ring true. You keep saying Bush was hated before he took office without giving a hint of why you think that. was it something he said in his campaign or was it the hanging chad incident that just coincidentally occurred in a state where his brother was governor?Nothing in your post addressed my point.
what point? You don't have one.
The Bush haters were mostly liberals and the Obama haters are mostly Conserv
Says WHO? I think Bush was disliked because he needlessly caused too many body bags to return home with his lying ways. 911 gave him unprecedented support by all Americans and he BLEW IT!
Obviously you don't understand that millions of those who vote are independent thinkers who judge presidents by their actions . The hate, if any for Bush, turns upon his selfish desire for retribution against Hussein for an attempted assignation of his father rather than the culprits behind 911. Those who lost family or just plain are disgusted by all the American lives lost in the Iraq campaign might tend to HATE Bush for lying abut WMDS as a pretext to an IRAQ invasion. Obama has done nothing that would come close to being a comparison.
No, the vast majority of the real "haters" are ideological partisans.
Bush was hated by most of his haters, before he even took office. And those haters were the core of those who hated him in his last year.
Obama was hated before he took office. Yes, it was NOT primarily because of any specific policy. it was the deep Partisan and Ideological Divide, just like with Bush.
Just like with Bill Clinton. Just like, potentially with Hillary.
It was the deep partisan and ideological divide between the Left and the Right.
Any Republican is going to be hated by the Left no matter what they do, for partisan and ideological reasons.
Any Democrat is going to be hated by Right no matter what they do, for partisan and ideological reasons.
The specifics of each candidate affect nothing but the presentation of this hate.
Lefties called Bush a dumb silverspoon frat boy.
That was not why they hated him. If he was a self made man, with a Nobel Prize they would have just packaged their personal attacks differently.
