And "I wasn't too crazy about Bush"? That's would be a big understatement. I think that most Americans would agree with me considering he left office with an approval rating of about 25%.

Pollster.com: National Job Approval: President George W. Bush
Yeah but his approval rating has gone up since leaving office. While Obamas is doing down.

Does many still hate Bush sure. Hate is such a strong word for a man they never met but reguardless. Some could be saying hey you know what now that we see the other side of things Bush just wasnt as bad as we thought he was.

No, I think they're probably romanticizing his time as President, just as the OP is doing. The grass is always greener on the other side.

God bless G.W. Bush

Its all speculation whether he knew or not. The CIA probably knew but whether they thought it was a credible threat and relayed the message to anyone else know one knows for sure.

Once again...not saying I like Bush and agreed with all his policies but I wish people who have all this hatred for Bush, would have the same kind of hatred against Al-Qaida. I don't think there's a single Al-Qaida hating thread in here. They're an extremists group who will stop at nothing as seen by their beheadings of civilian reporters. If you think these people can be reasoned with you are terribly mistaken.

So you created a poll where the only options are NOT to be critical of Bush. But, of course, it's OK to be critical of his successor! Good golly, Miss Molly, there's no bias around here.
