Are you capable of liking George BUSH and OBAMA at the same time?

I see strengths in each of them. Why all the hate? They both just want(ed) what is best for their country. I am a republican and disagree with Obama on policy, but I appreciate his efforts to turn over a totally new leaf, unlike ANYTHING dem or rep before. I wish GW had been more conservative, he spent like a democrat, but I appreciate what he did do well. So why all the hate?
