You loved Bush:
-Family values/religious issues
-Worked in the private sector, even though most of it was a setup from his rich daddy and he failed miserably in his endeavors
-Average normal guy, not part of 'Washington elite'
-Showed human qualities/mistakes
-Was pro-corporate/rich
-Stuck it out with his policies no matter how miserably they were failing
-Stood by his 'advisors' no matter how bad they sucked

You hate Obama:
-Not a single story, rumor, etc. that he has ever been anything but a very loyal, faitful husband and father who has done everything right
-Didn't work in the private sector but came from nothing and has achieved A LOT...a lot more than the platinum spoon fed Bush children
-Average guy, not part of the 'Washington Elite'
-Makes many mistakes like a normal person would
-Has continued on the pro corporate/rich policies of the Bush admin
-Has shown a willingness to bend on positions in order to get things passed for the 'better of the country'
-Has stood by his 'advisors' who apparently kinda suck

It is a sad commentary on our political process that either one of these jerks are the best we can come up with.

It's basic marketing. Play on instincts. Fear, anger, tribalism, etc. Nothing is stronger than instincts.
