Why Do People Hate George Bush

Why do people hate George H. W. Bush?

I believe it is not only re: President HW Bush (1988–1992), but all Republican / conservative politicians & their supporters that liberals /Democrats hate / dislike. There is an extraordinary percent of people who hate anything Republican / conservative based on the mal-media political propaganda of anti-everything not liberal socialist, communist, progressive, philosophy. Or conservative / liberal, are a genetic trait & each side cannot help themselves that they do not like the other’s political philosophy. Consequently, either way, “propaganda or genetic”, it is my conclusion that liberals / Democrats // Republicans / conservatives, primarily dislike (“hate” as used in the Q) their political opposite’s supporters & only secondly, not primarily, hate/ dislike the supporting voters’ leadership choices, i.e., Bush-I, Trump, Bush-II, Clinton, etc.. As to Bush-II, help me ID the entertainment figures (2000–2008) including, film, sports, & comedians who openly called for the assassination of Bush-II. The INet, which we are told always has forever the information placed on it, but this information seems to have been cleansed from the INet. As far as I know no person was ever prosecuted for those Bush-II threats, which I interpret that ‘some’ of the DOJ is a long since “turned to the dark-side” a politicized untrustworthy organization. As to the Q, “hating” Bush-I, abt 5 yrs ago I read a revealing article that Bush-I’s father (Prescott Bush) had been heavily involved in overthrowing Latin American Governments. And like the Bush-II (2000–2008) assassination information the INet seems to also be completely blank on that subject. For my opinion, I think President GW Bush-I was a WWII hero, a man of honor & integrity, but actually I know little of him. And I only now, see on the INet that apparently lots of INet users believe he was involved in the assassination (Nov 1963) of JFK & show supposed photos of Bush-I at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, TX at the time of the shooting there. ??? Looking at HW Bush’s bio it seems he held no political office before 1967 so vs JFK assassination in 1963, it seems improbable Bush-I had anything to do w/ JFK in Dallas.

Why do people hate George W. Bush?

I don’t know how many people hate George W. Bush. He seemed like a decent enough guy to me. But I—and a lot of others—disagreed with his invasion of Iraq. It was ill considered, based on bad information, and fought for the wrong reasons. I also disliked some of his other presidential actions, such as sending $600 checks to everybody. He inherited a surplus from Clinton and was going to distribute the wealth. But the surplus went away, so he sent the checks out as a sort of stimulus. However, rich people don’t put $600 back into the economy. They put it in the bank. If people do hate him, the reasons are probably his mishandling of Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq, and presiding over the worst economic failure since the Great Depression.

Why did people like George W. Bush?

I didn't vote for Bush in either election but I think I can give you some insight. 1) He is charismatic.  He looks like he could have been a movie star.  He was good using speech tactically and great at building rapport.  He was really strong at speaking in lay-terms to the voters. 2) He is family man.  He ran after Clinton who cheated on his wife.  My mother-in-law voted for Bush largely on that reason and I am sure other women did too.  3) He took a hard-line stance on foreign policy.  He felt military was a good option as opposed to always negotiating or economic sanctions.  4) He was a legacy president--his father was popular and he could been seen as an extension of his father's service. 5) He was aggressive about bringing his Christian principles to the white house.  More than 85% of American's believe in God and 3/4 are Christians. 6) He was good at projecting his image of being a working man as opposed to a career politician.  Voters are mostly working people and can relate to someone who is also a working man more than they can to career politicians.  He ran energy companies in West Texas and brought that experience into his campaign experience.  As a footnote he narrowly won both elections--it wasn't like he won by a landslide.  As a more important footnote you said "why on earth" which implies you have a strong emotional feeling attached to his political career.  Understand that people who voted him into office also have a strong emotional feeling attached to him ---though it obviously different than yours. People largely vote for politicians based on their emotional attachment to them or there emotional dislike to their opponent.  Find the emotions and you find the reason(s).educational footnote: Candidates on the Issues

What did people dislike about George H. W. Bush while they were in office?

The Father? 1. He invaded Panama. WTF? 2. He invaded another country, I forget which. 3. His State Dept told the Iraqis the US had no interest in Kuwait. We know how that ended up. A stupid, trigger happy man with a like son.

Do Americans hate George W. Bush as much as most British people hate Tony Blair?

I think we hated him more when he was in office towards the end, he had very high approval ratings right after 9/11 then he seemed to use that to go to war in Iraq and institute the Patriot Act, allowed Wall St to lose oversight from the government.Now he almost looks benevolent next to Trump, who eliminated the safeguards put in place so Wall St, couldn’t do it again, who is eliminating the effectiveness of watchdog agencies by not appointing staff or cutting budgets so he can finance his damn wall and cutting health care for people so he can give his rich friends tax breaks.
