Except people 'hated' Bush because he's a moron whose administration, among other things, deliberately misled the American people to invade Iraq, a 9-year boondoggle that cost the lives of thousands of coalition forces and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, and at least $2 trillion in American treasure. People of all political stripes may have (rightly) questioned Bush's intelligence and competence as a leader, but I don't recall anyone on the left asserting that he was a Kenyan-born muslim and an illegitimate president. Bush was disliked for being an imbecile; Obama was hated for being black.
