I think most people hate them because he's made a lot of mistakes and because they disagree with the war. I think the war was necessary. They've been doing thier best to get the terrorists, and they have got 35 out of about 50 that they knew of. They may have had some bad information to begin with, but that wasn't the president's fault, Germany and France thought the same thing. They also knew for a fact that Sadaam did have weapons of mass destruction and that they had been moved.
I don't hate the president, but, I don't adore him either. After all, he IS a methodist...and his father is an anti-semite, and I'm also very disappointed in him for not standing up for the causes that won him the election to begin with. I'm not sure I trust him...or any politician for that matter.
Most politicians, I'm afraid, are a lot of puffed up fluff and not enough true substance.
