Answer 2

I'm 50 years old and it's common place for people to hate the president at any point in time especially when he's had two terms in office. You should have heard all of the "I hate Clinton" from when he had two terms. Don't take people's personal feelings, read up on them and make your own mind up about them. I'm an Independent so I make up my own mind and I don't pay ANY attention to others and their feelings. I like Bush to a degree but I hated Ted Kennedy's amnesty bill that Bush helped with.

Please make up your own mind and don't listen to the rants of others. Bush was the best choice for president of the two running both times.

Answer 3

(I just read over some of the other responses....people this is supposed to be a 13 yr old asking...geesh....some of you........)
Well, I for one don't 'hate' Bush, but do have concerns as to why the US is continuing to have to stay in Iraq....but that's another subject....
Anyway, to answer your question. I think a lot of people find it convenient to 'hate' Bush because first of all he is the 'leader' of our nation. It is easier to 'hate' someone from a distance.....Any one is that position automatically receives the finger of blame when things are not to the liking of the American people. Remember when we first went to war, Bush was more popular then because everyone wanted to go kick some a$$ over there? Well the American public is a fickle bunch and we are so accustomed to getting what we want, when we want (example-high speed internet) that people want to blame Bush as the reason our trooops aren't all home yet. We want it now, only sometimes it isn't that easy. There is a lot of stuff going on that the average citizen is unaware of.
OH I just thought of another way to explain it.(maybe) You know how your principal is the 'leader' of your school? Well if there are problems in your school, the principal is usually the first one people blame or 'hate'..even if he directly and personally is not responsible. People fail to see what is going on in the background...maybe incompetent teachers, or negligent parents....

Don't know it that helps or not...13 is so young to wrap your head around politics. I am leery of people who express 'hate' towards Bush...it makes me feel as though they are more so the enemy. My Mom always said...you love every one, but you don't have to like them...but you CAN hate spinach.

Answer 4

Americans mostly hate their all serving Presidents and Bush is no exception.When you grow up,you are likely to do the same unless you really don't want it.Many American Presidents were outstanding and remarkable persons,respected the world over except in their own country.Why the citizens of the most advanced and a functional democracy do it beats the rest of the world.People out side of America know that what Bush has done by taking on the worst enemies of Humanity could not be done by a lesser person.After a decade or so,people shall realize and thank America for the initiatives and sacrifices made by her citizens for the world peace and spread of democracy.Hope you shall keep an open Mind and learn to judge for your self than falling prey to media and short sighted politicians.

Answer 5

I don't hate anyone. Let's start by saying that.

But, I don't like Bush mainly becasue of the Iraq War. Doesn't matter what anyone says, how many apologists he has, it should never have been fought. He's responsible for a lot of sensless violence, death and destruction, and as an American citizen, I'm partly responsible...as are you and everyone else. I think that's a huge responsibility that he doesn't take seriously. He was more interested in the financial benefit for his doners and the political weight he could throw around to get himself re-elected.

I dislike him becasue of his stance toward women and gays. While I am neither, I don't like to see my friends and countrymen have their rights limited.

I dislike him, because he is not worldly intelligent. He is politically, but he gives no thought to how his actions as the most powerful man in the world have baring on other people.

Want me to keep going?

Answer 6

The list is a long one, the death toll is even longer. Do your research and look at the facts yourself, then make up your own mind as to if Bush is really a good representative of this nation and what it stands for. I admire the fact that you are asking questions..that's good for you and the country as a whole..I'm 50, and this ain't my first time at the rodeo...

Answer 7

Well I can't speak for everyone but as far as I'm concerned!

I don't hate Bush as a person. It's the things that he's done while President that chafe the skin off my butt. I think what most people mean when they say they hate Bush is that they don't have any use for him as a leader of our Country.

As a person he's probably fine man.

Answer 8

Not everyone hates Bush! Actually, his father, mother, brother and Dick Cheney are quite fond of him. I have heard that he has a number of admirers who are wealthy, own large corporations and many who call themselves evangelical Christians.

Although the number of his supporters is far less than those who claim to hate him, he none the less is the decider who is leading our great country into that hot abyss called hell!

Unfortunately, I am not old enough or smart enough to explain his totally illogical behavior to a 13 year old. However, my four year old son is smart enough to know when he is being deceived by a grinning, arrogant, belligerent, over bearing, self serving liar whose vision of the truth is hidden behind yesterdays fabrication. God--Help us all!!!

Answer 9

I don't hate him as a person nearly as much as I hate him as a president. He seems like the type of guy you'd keep around in your circle of friends just to make fun of when he says stupid stuff.

When it comes to politics, he just doesn't cut it. What's with this war? Invading Iraq because of 9/11? That's like me killing the postman over a valuable vase the maid broke.

Answer 10

It's not Bush, that we hate...we're just extremely disatisfied with his broken policies, on just about every major issues that America is currently struggling with; starting from the economy to the war on terror.

Answer 11

first of all he is an american,secondly a powerfull american,america as we all know won world war2.since then they have stuffed everything up.korea,cuba,vietnam,backed the shah of iran,backed saddam,backed the afghans against russia.everyone of them have come back at them.bomber bush thinks he and his country is still the greatest thing to happen to the human race.sadly we are all paying for it.
