The French hate everyone!
Seriously the issue is that the French are very protective of their national culture, and they see the influx of the English language in popular music, literature, art etc of the last 40 years, now being compounded by the massive influx of U.S consumer brands like MacDonalds, Subway etc.
Add to that the fact that France is by far and away Europes biggest military power (far bigger than the UK or Germany) and it still maintains an unpopular Empire, which unlike everyone else it didn't give back entirely after World War Two.
That makes U.S foreign policy irritating to it. Its not just Bush and Iraq which is the problem but more to do with U.S influence and power.

I don't think the French hate America, I went over there a year ago and they were fine. I actually found them the majority of them to be friendlier then a lot of people here. They are not happy with the government policies and our touristy ways annoy them as much as they annoy everyone else, but I wouldn't say they hate us.

I don't think they do as much as it's portrayed in the media. I know a lot of Americans that hate and mock the French simply because we're told the French don't like us. That's a dumb reason to hate anyone. Besides, with Bush's foreign policy, just about everyone hates us.

Your news is old:
""WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 — France’s president, Nicolas Sarkozy, burst onto the Washington scene on Tuesday, clearly reveling in his first official visit to the White House and asking the United States to embrace him as a friend.""

Jealousy. We managed in 250 years to do something they're still working on.
