They don't.
They think our leadership in the USA is a sick, tragic joke, and they are right!

The ones that hate us draw their conclusions from the news, their friends, and our government. They generalize that we are just like our government and of course the news only reports the bad stuff. I don't know how they came up with we are lazy, because we all work, men and women, and we work 40 hours or more with a short lunch, or no lunch, and 1 week vacation or no vacation. We then go home and clean our homes and do the yard work, shop, etc... That's why the US is so rich is because of the workforce. So, it's a myth the Americans are lazy! However, the French that are able to travel to the US or live near an American Military Base are able to meet Americans and know that the majority of us are good, decent people.
PS You know, our countries should be pulling together instead of hating one another. Can you imagine China or Iran being a world power? The US does have it's downsides, but we do try to help others and give out loads and loads of money, food, and education. I really believe that WWIII is brewing with all this hate for one another going on and N. Korea and Iran wanting to make nukes. The US, Britain, France, and all the other European countries need to stick together. We all need to stop stirring up all this hate between our countries.

I don't know that the French hate the U.S. so much as they're rightfully wary of our size, actions, and policies.
The U.S. is an immense nation with a great deal of wealth and power. However, our residents are very poorly schooled in international affairs. Most of us only speak one language, and poorly at that. We would be hard pressed to find other countries on a map, much less discuss their politics, history, and current events. Many of us aren't very interested in the world outside our borders, and some are even proud of that fact.
We also use a disproportionate amount of the world's resources and our recent political events have been quite erratic, to put it politely.
To residents of other countries, this presents quite an unnerving package.

stold this answer best one from
damndirty...
Because they are the biggest bunch of uppity, self centered, whining, left wing, liberal, complaining, smelly, rifle dropping, self important, self absorbed, pretentious, @ssholes on the planet.
They are mad at America because we voted with our dollars and the french lost a lot of money. It is because we are not buying french products. Know what, frenchie? It is MY cash and I will spend it on what I want. I'll have some more "Freedom Fries" and a European vanilla milkshake.
Notice I did not capitalize the word "french"? They do not deserve that much respect..

I lived in France for two years, and I despise the french people, they think they are better than anyone and they hate everyone, not just the Us. Who really cares what the french think, they are really not world players, and have not been for a long time, that is why they are helping the muslim terrorists, its the only friends france has. Also they are hanging onto Germany's backside.

1) The French tend to hate anyone who isn't French.
2) Americans tend to get in the way when France tries to appease its way to relative safety.
3) They're a bunch of ingrates who refuse to admit that America saved their behinds in WWI and WWII.

Well, considering the constant put down Americans put them through, it's no wonder they are not fond of the US. But don't feel bad, they hate the Brits equally. Maybe, it does have something to do with saving their butts afterall.
