Do they not realize the presidency has a lot to do with "figure heading" and that the team of advisors makes most of the decisions and can sway the prez's opinion......I mean being the CEO of the U.S, you are going to be criticized but geez...people have authentic hate for this man sometimes.

'Cause he's the Decider, he said so himself.

So why do you blame everything on Clinton?
The president is ultimately responsible for his decisions. If he can be too easily swayed by his advisers, he doesn't have strong enough resolve.
Bush the Decider went right along with the agenda of those who influenced him, and it has been disastrous. I don't hate him; I hate what he has done to America. There is no good outcome for Iraq. All the "consequences of failure" are taking place already.
Because of our occupation, people are blowing up our soldiers. It's not because they hate our freedoms or any of that bulls***. It's because of our policy. Al-Qaeda is a movement, not a unified force. Bin Laden is not directing actions in Iraq. There is still no connection that justifies us attacking their country. We should begin to withdraw our troops while funding the reconstruction of what we have destroyed. That's the best we can do.
Unfortunately, Bush is unable to see that his policy is not working. In fact, just wait, he will bring the troop level to over 200,000 this year if we let him get away with it. The only way to end the war is to cut off the funding or impeach.
To all of you who think cutting off the funding will leave the troops unprotected, I say: WE JUST GAVE YOU A HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS! There's plenty of money in the pipeline. Funding the war is perpetuating death and destruction.
Impeach Bush to End the War.

Your sweeping generalization is rather misguided. But Bush deserves a lot of criticism for things he's said and done. Especially the things he's said and done the opposite. For example, he respects a jury decision, he just doesn't like the sentence so he commutes it. Where's the respect there? Where are the MSDs? Seems like we're the only ones using those and he's so blind to reality, even his advisers either quit or fall in line with the "yes men" he surrounds himself with.
I could go on, but do you get the picture?

It is kind of simple, it is easier to hate a single figure involved in a Governmental process. Most people that hate don't actually understand how the Government works in the first place. A weak mind hates to begin with and can't be reasoned with so is best ignored. It is a little scarry when that many people hate a President. But on point think of it this way many people don't even know who represents them in Congress, but everyone knows who the President is.
So it is easier to hate the President than it is to inform ones self about the business of our country. I think the Hippy Generation also helped make it "cool" and "popular" got love peer pressure. It shows a lack of independent thinking and it is scarry.

That's the way we treat leadership in this country. Look at coaches and managers. They get fired if their teams don't win the big game...whether or not it's their fault.
The Presidency is the biggest job in the world...and with it comes an equivalent amount of responsibility.

I hold him responsible for his actions and words, and when he took the oath of office he became responsible for his decision's and for actions taken by those he appointed to serve under him. Hate is a strong word, but I have no respect for this man that in my personal opinion is a liar, a manipulator, and to stubborn to admit when he is wrong.

Because unlike the neo-cons, blaming the administration from 7 years ago has gotten tired.

Even by that logic, he chose his advisers... so he is responsible for their decisions. I don't hate him, like a lot of people do, but I think he has made some poor decisions and I welcome a strong change, be it republican or democrat in the next election.

Well, can I ask you why the cons blame Clinton for everything even tho he hasn't been in office for the last 6 years?

He is a screw up. Every business he ever was involved in failed, and he had to get bailed out by his mom and dad. Check it out, its true. And now he's screwed up the US, he did not need to get us into this horrible stupid war, but he wanted to, like some kind of spoiled brat. And now nobody can bail him out. Poor little rich kid screwed up. Oh and saying Jesus told him to do it is...pathetic.
