Why is it that most of the world liked Clinton but hate Bush?

Question

Logical answers please. No name calling or stupid & immature answers.

Answer 1

With all his flaws, Clinton worked hard for world peace--look at Dayton. George Bush has attacked a foreign country (Iraq) without provocation. He also stood by and did nothing as Israel bombed Lebanon for over a month.

Clinton wasn't a saint when if came to Iraq and he did not sign the Kyoto Treaty, his interest as President was to help out the middle class. Bush is interested in the rich.

Answer 2

I don't believe Bush is hated as much as an unwilling component of War due to his Anti-Social, egotistic also last but not least being untrustworthy! how good for those wanting and needing more power allies and reason for dismantling America! what a unknowing partner Bush becomes to the enemies of the USA! Now....................
Now I shall take all of you on a ride. This is how it must be, You see for this is part of Americans Karma reacting. Allow me to explain - Please! Bush was a must- Really! The timing could not have been better! He had to line every other people, country and continent up against the survival of the Americans meaning the disposal of many those here, the Name, the Land & Principals here! which shall then be given back to the orignal occupants. The treatment of the Africans & Indians here on the Northern Continent is why Bush is a tool for all of the wronged to gain wisdom, power ,strength to regain or take back the continent . so here is what is going on, which many sleep on.
So I shall "School" many. Africans, Indians where already tired and ready for war here but when OBL turned the world against the united states! others now have the same mentallity! Now that a genious strategic war move! now follow this. the ones which can! They claim he hides in Pakistan which is no more than part of India now y'all can see the relationship with OSB and this northern continent huh? which was taken by the orignal terrorist and they want it back and are potting to do so at this very moment and oh when you look at there skin they are no doubt black which brings them to the attention of the black man and how they too were wronged by the "white man" and OH YEA! Where is this man they seek so hard to find! The death of america domination is the goal and a brilliant one which all agree upon! Now this is why clinton is loved and bush is hated only by the ones that think differently than stratigically!
Clinton gave hope and we almost wanted to forgive the whites seeing change and hope in their conduct. But here we go again you see -We see how Bush tries to dismantle another people using aggression and spite to do so. So plots are being plotted against "america" and its bigger than many chose to believe and best of all just dont know!
All over the world there is a saying that is said and heard over and over again every where! this saying is "America is no good" now that's freightening really!

Answer 3

This is a simple question with a very, very complicated answer.

Someone has said that the American people were able to identify with Clinton more, and I think there's some truth to that. He grew up poor, his father was abusive, and he went on to achieve great things. He is a great orator and exceptionally smart; smart enough to put qualified people in difficult jobs. Bush, on the other hand, was born wealthy and was kind of late getting his own life underway. He meandered through most of his youth...most Americans don't have that luxury. Bush speaks with a "down home" accent but his attitudes aren't really all that mainstream. He's appointed "friends" to offices they weren't really qualified to run, and I think that has turned a LOT of people off.

Internationally, Clinton was always willing to work within the framework of diplomacy and that is NOT a sign of weakness. Bush is much more inclined to work unilaterally, turning a lot of others off. See, most of the nations of this world (including the wealthy European ones) aren't nearly as rich or powerful as the United States is. Their governments have worked very hard in the wake of WWII to build international institutions that are supposed to improve the world economy and promote stability. We in the US are kind of on an island over here and don't realize the importance of these institutions. When our government ignores them, other countries will take exception.

That's a very short answer, anyway.

Answer 4

I am not sure,and I am a conservative and that is an intelligent and polite question.Thank you for changing the tone around here.

I liked President Clinton,I voted for him twice.The reason I,now don't have respect for him was the way he mistreated women.And the whitewater issue still has alot to be answered for but will never happen.I also dislike the Clintons bullying tactics when someone ticks them off.

I like President Bush on a few issues and disagree with him on many.I feel he is protecting our country from a slow seeping problem that has accelerated over the years..,9/11.
I think many don't like him because people think hes an ignorant hick.People need to remember there are many of us lacking public communication capabilities altho he should try harder in his case.But then we you have people calling him a Nazi on a day in and day out basis and wishing death or ill will on his family,I guess one could understand lol.

Again,thanks for posting a polite question without the rhetoric.

Answer 5

But, all I have is a stupid and immature response to your question. I thought he was cute, had charisma, was charming and was a bit of a romantic rogue. Then, he , like all arrogant people, forgot his higher calling and became himself, stupid and immature like a pre-teen, oversexed and under intellect-ed( that may not be a word).
George Bush is a good man with his morals matured enough to control his selfish proclivities, but he can't pronounce nuclear and he stutters.

In short, I and the rest of the world were duped by a consummate con man into not judging his character harshly enough.
And out of arrogance, we perhaps judged a simple man and labeled him , instead, as a simpleton.

Answer 6

Clinton really didn't stand for, or do much. He pretty much gave up any/all defining opinions/thoughts and moved himself to the center. He was very likable and spent most of the time not trying to piss anyone off.

Bush thinks he's doing the right thing and despite all the criticism, in the end the world will revel in his decisions. He fancies himself a Reagan-ish lone wolf. Only problem is Reagan ending up being right and cherished, and I don't this W can pull this off by the time he leaves office.

Clinton knew how to work it. He could spin, charm, and worm his way in/out of anything. My favorite Clinton memories were always the skits on Conan.

Answer 7

Let's not forget that when Clinton left office - The US had a huge surplus.

When Bush was appointed into office via his Governor Brothers State of Florida Supreme Court - All the surplus disappeared and we have a rather large debt.

Clinton embraced the people of America, and listened to what the majority was saying. Diplomacy goes a long way.

Bush, however, is arrogant in his pursuit to prove himself right. Bush claims to listen to everybody - only to listen to everyone who agrees with him on his approach.

Not only were gas prices cheaper when Clinton was in office, but so was everything else from groceries, medications, insurances, and so forth.

Bush in the office has had quite the opposite and ripple effect.

Clinton in office - even the middle class and "lower -class" made money in the stock market.

Bush in office - middle class and "lower" lost the majority of what was to be their golden year retirements.

So who is really the worst of them? The one who cheated on his wife? Or the one who cheats and lies to most all of Americans faithfully, and often?

Answer 8

Its a personality glitch.
Clinton had one of those personalities that people automatically liked him. He carried himself confidently, and was within the ranks of JFK. He could have sold ice to eskimo's.
Bush on the otherhand, doesn't carry himself very confidently. He gets flustered and tongue tied and people have a hard time following an insecure leader.
Clinton was a man's man, and a ladies man.
He managed to make the southern hillbilly thing work for him and people believe hillbillies are more trust worthy (which is typically the case, lol)
Bush is more of a frat boys, man. He had the silver spoon, and its obvious.
Honestly as far as personality goes, I like them both. But confidence goes a long way. Clinton has it, Bush doesn't.

Answer 9

Most of the world did not like Clinton, and Most of the world does not hate Bush. This sounds like Liberal propaganda, and no, I will not vote for another Clinton.

Answer 10

Clinton did not attack a soverign nation without provocation.
Clinton has respect for other countries.
It was under Bush that the childish act of callin french fries, freedom fries because they wouldn't join in the Iraq debacle.
People don't like Bush's arrogance.
