Some of it certainly it is. Lots of people hated Clinton simply because of who he was, not his policies. The same is true of Bush. Bush's presidency, however, has been a disaster by any objective standard. There is good reason to criticize his irresponsible economic and foreign policies, as well as his administration's relentless dishonesty and incompetence. I don't believe that Bush is either stupid or crazy, nor do most people who criticize him. Had he chosen more intelligent, less deluded advisors (James Baker, Colin Powell) Bush might have had a modestly successful, moderate-conservative presidency. This has not been the case.
