President Bush was both respected AND liked by everyone who mattered. I'll bet a whole lot of people around the world would love to have him back............just like we would.
Very true, I think the people that disliked or said they disliked President Bush were people that either had an intense dislike of America or had no true appreciation or knowledge of what the real George W Bush was/is.
Those that dislike America now can say they like Obama because of the way he behaves shows he has no great love of his own nation and traditions.
