I was trying to think of other world leaders as hated as these two are internationally, and no one comes close. Are there any?

Ahmadinejad of Iran and Kim Jong-un of North Korea are not hated nearly as much, because they do not have the reach to send their military all around the world to bomb and strafe other countries, nor do they ensnare people from other countries on the same level as Bush/Cheney did, and send them to torture camps (even though they do with their own populations)

Kinda strange the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" is also home to the two most loathsome world leaders since a couple other guys were in power around 70 years ago.

With obama as bad or worse, one must wonder why he is not as hated?
Oh I know, propaganda works on the weak.

Hey there has already been a BDS thread posted this week. Either wait another day or join the whining there.

Yes, but if you noticed, I said "around the world".

I realize how hated Pres. Obama is by wingnuts in the United States, but the question was specific, i.e., citizens of other nations.

But....but.....Jeb Bush says that "history will be kind" to his brother.



Although, I guess if that's the best he can say - that history will be "kind" to his brother - it really doesn't say much, does it?

And my point is that with obama as bad or worse, he should be equally reviled or more so ( around the world)

Glug glug...

I think that's the point that's being made. Obama hasn't been any different, only in the eyes of some on the left. Gitmo is still open for business and doing well, he authorized a troop surge in Afghan and he's got drones taking people out from above. The only difference is that you perceive Bush/Cheney to be hated by the world as much as you hated them and you feel the opposite about Obama.
