Sigh... do you seriously want to know why Bush is so hated?

First of all Bush is in the middle off a conflict that he and his neo-con chicken hawks created. This 'war of terrorism' and 'war with Iraq' was created by people in this country with an agenda. (more on that later)
As to Bush himself...
Ok, let's put aside the fact that my 10 year old has better cognitive and pronunciation skills than Bush. If we were in the 12th century, his simplistic and medieval mentality might be appropriate, however to couch everything in terms of good vs evil, and to give the impression that he is doing God's work while his arbitrary enemies (created I might add to wage endless war for profit by the Military Industrial Complex), are characterized as horrid terrorist evildoers, who simply hate us and want to kill us because we are free... is frankly illic. These people are not right with what they do, however they have their reasons, and hating us for being free isn't one of them.
American corporations using American military might as a matter of policy dominate and rob 3rd world countries the world over, paying for and supporting puppet governments that are repressive and genocidal towards their own people and THAT allows these puppets to line their own pockets, funnel resources to US corporations , and surrender their geo political control to the US government
Some people take exception to the theft of their resources and the supplanting of their cultures with McDonalds, Coca-Cola and UNOCAL (not to mention killing of their people by the US military). And they express their discontent with bombs and bullets and become the rank and file terrorists. However the real structure of
Terrorism is something that was created and fed from US policy makers. They need an enemy, so they have created
Terrorism as the new communism. The war on communism fell apart, the war on drugs no longer works, so they have created an enemy that is an abstract noun -- 'Terror' an enemy that can never ever be found and defeated as it is an ideal, not a tangible physical entity. It serves as the perfect enemy to wage endless war against ... that war being for profit and global domination.
Actually it's quite clever given the abject ignorance and gullibility of the average American. (sorry, this is not a 'shot' at you per se, but I am mystified at the capacity for average Americans to be duped with the administration lies. In fact, Daddy Bush once said "never confuse the American people with the truth" and that is what is at play here)
Getting back to Bush, he is really just a figurehead who thinks he's in control and making policy when he's not -- and that makes him a dangerous man. I don't hate him though. I mock him, yes. I loath what he stands for, yes. His ventriloquists (his handlers) are the real villains as far as I'm concerned. Bush is a dogmatic pompous self-righteous half-wit who can never admit a mistake, has a messianic complex and has been molded and/or manipulated to follow an agenda that is disastrous for America (and very beneficial for his corporate masters). I am always amazed when people can't see it, and take the governemnt lies and mendacity at face value.
Then besides these lies and deception ....there are Bush's policies, which are the scariest part of all. (to numerous to mention in this post, but I'll be happy to debate them point by point if you wish).
If you can't see by now what these people are up to, then you will obviously never get it. If you do see what they are up to and you condone it, you are just as guilty they are.
Anyway, the bottom line is that Bush and his ilk are the biggest obstacle to a free and peaceful America. They feed on strife and turmoil, want total control and domination here and abroad, and want to wage endless war for profit ... all at the expense of our civil liberties and constitution. And, they are bankrupting America while they line their pockets.
The Bush regime is a political version of the Mafia. That is why he is so hated.
