    Obama's lack of popularity surpassed that of President Bush's long ago.

    The only difference is that Obama has done many things to actually warrant the dislike of the American people.

    Bush was not perfect, but his love and respect for our country, and it's people, runs deep and true.

    The same cannot be said for our current president.

    For those who have no sense of history perhaps - There are so many much, much worse presidents - Carter for example. This is an example of the law of recency

    Definitely not. Bush got caught in the MSM trap. MSM said hate the President and the public asked how much. Some of them have not been able to let go and look objectively at the time Bush was a President. Bush was a great President.

    Obama on the other hand literally is the most unpopular president, any way you look at him and his administration. Although time will tell after he's gone how he will be remembered.

    Congress sent us to war. Bush had to seek congresses approval. In congress Democrats and Republicans unanimously voted to go to war. Place blame where it belongs.

    history will not be kind the the US President who cleared brush while being warned his country was about to be attacked. Sat on his sorry ass for 8 minutes, confused, when he was told his country was UNDER ATTACK. Then turned around and attacked a country that did not attack us.
    Sat on his C average ass some more while his countries economy was going down the crapper, came on TV to tell everyone the economy was fine and his last desperate act was to let Americas manufacturing go but save the Wall St. oligarchy.
    What a flaming closet POS.

    Check your historical and current events. Carter scored lower than GWB and the Mau Mau currently occupying the White House is, in reality, somewhere around 33% if the sycophantic media reported the truth.

    no doubt. Some got to fly one of those here

    The issue is not how many of his assigned duties George Bush actually performed in the Air National Guard. Nor is the issue why Bush refused his periodic physical examination and stopped flying in 1972 shortly after drug testing was introduced - a coincidence, the White House says.
    The real issue, painful in a society that prides itself on being egalitarian, is privilege - who got to serve in the Guard's "champagne unit" as his unit was called, and who went to Vietnam, perhaps to die.
    It was all inside and cozy back in Texas then. Lloyd Bentsen III, son of a future senator, got a coveted slot in the Houston-based guard unit. John Connally III, son of the former governor, got another. And in 1968, George Bush, son of Houston's congressman, made it after Ben Barnes, Speaker of the Texas House, talked to the head of the National Guard on the young man's behalf


    while others of his age had to serve here


    General Powell wrote: "I particularly condemn the way our political leaders supplied the manpower for that war [The Vietnam War]. The policies determining who would be drafted and who would be deferred, who would serve and who would escape, who would die and who would live, were an anti-democratic disgrace....

I am angry that so many sons of the powerful and well-placed ... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units. Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to our country."

    oh I know all about the birthers and their "facts" since at every turn they've been shot down. Including the official release of the authentic long form. Tsk tsk.
    Yet you think that weak dismissal counts for something? No contrary facts, no counter argument ... just an "attack the messenger"? You have to be the absolute worst at defending the pathetic record of GWB. Next time bring your A game ... if you even have one.

    ....So I'm assuming you believe everything you see? By the way, the world does not revolve around Americans.

    The question asks Americans who - in their opinion - was/is the most unpopular American president, therefore in answering it, referencing Americans cannot possibly be avoided.

    Which not only makes your "revolve around the world" comment rude, but unfounded as well.

    Also how could anyone not believe what they see if they witness something. If you see something, it's there.

    The pictures above are of President Bush in various situations. The acts that they capture do not cease to exist, or become untrue, the moment the pictures are taken.

    Where did it say only Americans? I didn't say it could, now did I?

    It's rude, but it is relevant and true.

    So a picture of him hugging soldiers automatically means he loves all Americans? I'm not saying the pictures aren't real, I'm saying that doesn't mean that that's how he necessarily felt about all Americans.

    Never mind. Your 15. False alarm. No offense, your not even mature enough to have a political opinion. You we're 11 when Bush left office..and 3 when he came in office. You have no opinion here, get real.

    Bush has displayed his affection, respect and honor for all Americans at every turn.

    The pictures are not proof of his patriotism, love and respect for our country and it's citizens - WHAT HE IS DOING WHEN THE PHOTO IS TAKEN IS.

    I am sorry if what I posted above did not make that clear. :)

    Don't worry about what Cal has to say the coward blocked me. When you can't defend your position you simply block people! Make you wonder why a person would come to this site knowing that this is a discussion site and that people will always disagree with you doesn't it? Bush sucked and you only have to talk to your elders to find out just how much! These people just hate the president mainly because he is half and half. If he was white he would be reelected in a landslide. As it is he will still win!

    Your right, but, oh by the way, on an American website, discussing an American President, and the opinions of Americans on him, it does revolve around Americans FYI. Exactly around Americans. So I'm assuming you hate America. Why exactly are you here? Just a fair idea from how aggressive you came on.
