I don't hate Bush.
I don't hate President Bush, but have a distasteful reaction to some adminstration policies. Big difference. At least he seems to respond to widespread criticism when it is warranted (ie, Harriet Meiers) but holds his ground when he does not think he is wrong.
Now President Clinton, I disliked - viscerally - as a dishonorable man. Finger-to-the-wind governance, when that finger wasn't somewhre it ought not to be.
Unlike any other President except Jimmy Carter. I did not think of Carter as dishonorable back in the 1970's, just pathetically inept. Now I see that he is both.
