President Obama still gets away with blaming G.W. Bush for every current economic problem despite Obama’s 4.6 years in office. He is appealing to the vast audience of Lefties that will hate G.W. Bush until they die.
I think I found the cause of Bush hatred.
First, the definition of a reliable source of causality: replication. If the same factors can be found to result in the same outcomes in two or more independent environments, they can be called causal.
The Lefty Israeli media hates Benyamin Netanyahu, "Bibi." The Israeli Lefty media hates Bibi with same passion that the American Lefty media hated President Bush.
The Israeli Bibi hating started four years earlier than the American Bush hating and continued, unabated, regardless of Bibi's defeat in and multiple re-elections.
We get the same outcome (rabid hatred of a political figure) in two different environments, Israel and America.
This brings us to the cause. The qualities that both Bibi and Bush have in common. Bibi and Bush are generally considered good looking. Both men are very comfortable with who they are, no pretense whatsoever. Most importantly, both men represent the radical new school of Pro-Commerce. Bibi and Bush want less government, more commerce and both love the driving power of commerce to create a better world.
Put that package together and you have something the Left can hate with a passion. If both men were ugly, pretentious and conservative they wouldn't bother anyone.
Bad news. Our friends who hate Bibi and Bush are going to be just like the rightwingers who hated FDR until their own death. Both men could live a long time and be important spokespersons for many decades to come.
