They either really like you or really hate you and there is nothing in between. Because (like Castro) Chavez chose not to run his country for the benefit of US business etc he is hated.

I thought Bush hatred was extreme but they are in an entirely different class....I do know a few others who are much more tame in their opinion, but still not fans. Of course, they did leave their country and have close family still residing in Venezuela :)

>I have noticed something interesting. Now that Bush is out of office I don't hate him at all. I still think he was a lousy President (maybe more accurate to say he let lousy people like Cheney and Rumsfeld guide policy) but as a person he is fine. Maybe he was a little overwhelmed by the office and now he can be himself again.

Some people like to think that our nation has come a long way by electing and even reelecting a Black President. Let us not forget that we did something similar with George W. Bush, in that we elected and reelected a person with a disability. His disability is the inability to function as a human and he does well lacking a brain.

He will be remembered for his love of mankind and how he freed the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, along with the good he did for members of the United States Military.

I was taught not to hate, however, I reserve the right to passionately dislike someone. :)
