Much of it is media hype, which tends to focus on overblown and melodramatic Democrat hype. They run polls that play to the Democrat's point of view and present the slanted results as if they asked everyone in the US and claim the results are nigh-infallible. Have you ever been polled? Neither have I, or anyone I know. Screw the media, all they want to do is sell ad space.

The media attempts to make all the completely illegal, unconstitutional, and treasonous things being done by "our" government look normal. Most of their "opposition" to the government is designed to take your mind and energy away from the bigger issues and crimes and cause divison amongst Americans.

They know they can't be completely one-sided without looking ridiculous, but honestly... If we still truly had a "free press"... they'd just be broadcasting a continuous red alert that our country's been taken over by criminals and foreign powers, we are "competing" in a "globalist" tyrant / slave labor market Americans were obviously never meant to be a part of (you "compete" with a slave for wages... YOU ARE A SLAVE... DUHHHH AMERICA!!!), our dollar's crashing, outrageous fuel prices and increasing hidden inflation, our nation's been demonized through these unjust wars so that no one will come to our defense as freedom dies, our families and communities have been turned against each other, our police forces and military are growing rapidly and unconstitutionally merging, our prison population is exploding, MANY of our freedoms are under attack and the framework for a police-state has been put into place.... All that work because they don't intend to do it???...

The polls don't lie... Everyone does hate Bush, with darn good reason, except for a few shills on the internet who don't realize the Hell they're helping build for their children... sickos... It doesn't seem anyone really understands how bad things are though.

You know.actually... I'm really starting to believe exactly what these "globalists" believe... Unbelievable how many people are completely blind to the horrible things happening to this country and get lost in the divison and garbage issues, or are just too lazy to study history, learn more about what our founding fathers built for us and learn more about what's really going on right now. Maybe middle class Americans are dumb and a waste of too many resources. Maybe they do deserve to be enslaved and brought down to 3rd world status if they let it happen so easily. Where do I sign up???

I think the media manipulates the American public opinion of any president. President Bush has been maligned more than some. I wonder how we would have viewed George Washington or Abe Lincoln if we had the type of information and media then that we have now.

The media isn't showing that either. Some opinion pieces have shown that, and that is their right. The public disapproves of certain things, but doesn't hate.

Most people don't hate our Presidents. We have some vocally seditious children who name-call, spread unfounded rumors, treat our officials as "guilty until proved innocent" and unfortunately, like a bunch of people in a supermarket faced with a poorly behaved kid throwing a fit in front of his parents, we're too embarrassed or scared to say anything.

Why would we tolerate anyone doing that to our Presidents?

Questioning their actions, policies, and goals? YES!
Patriotic, respectful and legal protest? YES!

But behavior most of us have left behind on the elementary playgrounds of our youth?

Thank you, I have more pride, and even today, with the U.S. falling apart and facing destruction (cue the music from the last election, and the many before that when these claims came up before, again and again), World Values Survey puts the U.S. at the top of the list, with 77% of the people being VERY PROUD of their country, more than any country polled.

I speak up against any democrat or republican (I am a patriotic democrat) who badmouths our President. I compliment those who protest and question his policies in respectful and firm ways.

There's a big difference, and some of us haven't figured that out. They have free speech, but so do those who answer them.

So it doesn't matter what you see in the media. What are you going to do about it? Join the people who badmouthed our President for eight years?

That's a large crowd of unpatriotic Republicans to join.

I was referring to President Clinton.

Not a good crowd for a patriotic democrat to join by taking cheap shots at the present President, wouldn't you say?

I am a Canadian and I definitely have no use for George Walker Bush as he is a Coniving Sociopath who uses being a born again Christian as a cover up. As well I have no use for Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, William Kristol, Jeb Bush, Richard Perle, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz or the rest of the NEoCon Scumbags from the PNAC who convinced the American Senate and Congress to go to war against Iraq based on lies. Not a one of these Scumbags ever served in the real military especially the Pig Richard Cheney who said he was to busy doing other things to risk his life in Vietnam. Well these Scumbags will all end up in Hades in the end for their lies that they have created..

The problem with 50% of americans are that they are not critical thinkers. it's extremely important to be Media Literate!
The Media aka the vortex in which information goes in and comes out completely different. Does make George Bush out to be an arrogant, uneducated, self obsessed man. But then you watch him on CNN or in his interviews and I'd say the media is not too far off-sure they hype ot up a bit. But he honestly does talk like a moron. Whats wotht he constant pausing and never looking into the camera. Anyway Bush definatly isn't the leader he could be. If he took hs head outta his As* and just stoped trying to think of ways to befit his self, tho he claims it's for america. Why is he still trying to create a democracy in Irag still anyway. He's a war driven leader. Why do people think war is the answer to everything. Have we learned nothing from the past! Honestly.

But yes, I strongly dislike Bush all the way to the point when i see his face on TV it fills me with rage and makes me wanna slap him. Yes I hate him.

by using fact he has used the terrorist attack of 9-11, 2001 to added the policies of the Republican party to heights no different Republican President has been able to do earlier. Neither Ronald Reagan nor Richard Nixon suceeded in this undertaking by using fact they have been constrained by ability of a the human beings who elected a Democratic Congress. George Bush used the phobia created by ability of 9-11 to keep adequate Republican votes interior the Congress to defy the desire of the final public of the human beings. George Bush isn't the situation, the policies of the Republican party are. as quickly as we as a rustic end vote casting on emotional themes and and opt for a President that looks out for our pastimes somewhat of firms, in basic terms then will everybody have a huge gamble to prosper and persue existence, liberty, and happiness in our on an typical basis lives. Trickle down economics does not artwork for u . s . a ., era.

No, the people don't hate him. There is a group of "enlightened" people (mostly on the East Coast of the U.S.) who equate Bush's Texas accent with his being dumb. They are also sadly disappointed that this "dumb Texan" managed to defeat both of their fair-haired candidates in the past two Presidential elections. In the first contest, many of these educated people were shocked to find out that the Electoral College is not the one with no band or athletic team. And the media which echoes their discontent are tightly packed within a small midtown Manhattan grid, where they interact on a daily basis with these folks. It's a pretty small circle indeed.

just what do you think of him. given that there is no such thing as the liberal media( a thing made up by the republican owned, censored, and propagandized) why would the media make him look bad. if you tell the truth in this country you are looked as the liberal media, but that same station, saying about him that is agreeable is patriotic. no most people don't like the situation were in, and he and his republican cronies put us there, for six years there was no way the could be stopped. do you like the present situation.

Porbably a part of Americans hate President Bush, because he make some mistake.

Bush once said," I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." and " Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

In my opinion, George W Bush is definitely harming the English language, that's for sure.
